This cold noodle salad with Asian flavors is a zesty treat that goes great with barbecue chicken and a beer. If you're feeling adventurous, mix in 1/2 cup of shredded dried seaweed (nori) just before serving.

Ingredients

15 ounces dried soba noodles
⅓ cup rice vinegar
⅓ cup soy sauce
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 ½ teaspoons dark sesame oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes, or to taste (Optional)
1 cup finely grated carrot
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup coarsely chopped salted peanuts

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook soba noodles in boiling water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain noodles in a colander, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Pour rice vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil into a large bowl. Mix in brown sugar, lime zest, garlic, and red pepper flakes; stir until sugar dissolves. Toss in carrot, cilantro, and peanuts until well combined.
Cut noodles into 3-inch lengths. Stir into carrot mixture. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Toss salad again before serving. If dry, splash with soy sauce and rice vinegar. Serve cold.

Tips

This dish has more of a Thai flavor. For a Japanese flavor, omit pepper flakes, peanuts, and cilantro. Add 1/4 cup of toasted sesame seeds.

You can substitute ramen noodles for soba.
