Soba Salad With Feta And Peas Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a medium bowl, whisk peanut butter, hot water, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, lime juice and Sriracha until smooth. Season to taste with salt. Add sugar, if using, and stir. Set aside.
• Drop the snap peas into the boiling water and cook until they just turn bright green, about 30 seconds. Using a mesh strainer or a spider (leave the water in the pot), transfer to a colander and rinse under cold water until cool. Drain and slice each pea lengthwise into 2 or 3 pieces. Set aside.
• Return water to a boil and cook soba noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool (if noodles get sticky, rinse again with cool water).
• In a large serving bowl, toss noodles with the chicken, mango and peanut dressing. Add two-thirds of the snap peas, cucumbers, cilantro and chiles, reserving the rest for garnish. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• When ready to serve, top with remaining snap peas, cucumbers, cilantro and chiles and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
• Bring 2 quarts of lightly salted water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Separate the noodles and drop them into the boiling water, stirring once or twice. When the water begins to boil, add 1 cup of cold water. Repeat this procedure twice cooking until the noodles are just tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain in a colander. Rinse with cold water until completely cooled, rubbing gently with hands to remove all surface starch and drain well.
• Toss the noodles with the dressing and arrange the daikon, sprouts, onion, green onions, sesame seeds, and a dash of seven-spice powder over the top.

Steps:

• Cook noodles and peas together in a 6- to 8-quart pot of lightly salted boiling water until noodles are tender, 4 to 6 minutes.
• While noodles cook, whisk together scallions, oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
• Drain noodles and peas well in a colander, then rinse under cold running water to stop cooking. Drain well again, then add to dressing along with feta. Grind pepper to taste over salad.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Drop in the noodles and carrot and cook until tender, 2 to 4 minutes; add the edamame for about 15 to 30 seconds just to warm, then drain everything in a colander. Set aside.
• In a large salad bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, miso and mirin or sugar. Add spinach, noodles, carrot, edamame, scallion, and toss; then taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with grated ginger at the table.
