Category: Recipes

“bundle” soba noodles (one serving)
juice from 1 clementine (or half an orange)
1-2 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp tamari
2 tbsp sesame oil
1-2 tbsp warm water
oil for sautéing
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp ginger, grated
1-in piece lemongrass, minced
2 tsp red chili pepper, minced
1 pac choy, roughly chopped
1 carrot, julienned
1 scallion, cut on the bias
toasted sesame seeds or gomasio, for garnish

cook soba noodles according to directions while you prepare the sauce and vegetables. drain, and set aside.

to make the sauce, “soften” the peanut butter with a little warm water in a bowl (depending on how “mixable” your peanut butter is - you may not need this step). add the citrus juice, rice vinegar, tamari and sesame oil and whisk together. set aside.

heat some oil in a saucepan or frying pan over medium heat. add the garlic, ginger, lemongrass, red pepper and carrots and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant (a minute or two). add the pac choy and continue cooking until pac choy begins to wilt slightly. add cooked noodles, sauce and scallions and mix well, then transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with gomasio. then eat!
