Ingredients
- 4 oz soba noodles usually about ½ package
Peanut Sesame Sauce
- ⅔ cup tamari or soy sauce
- ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ¼ inch piece of fresh ginger about ½ tsp
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 sprigs fresh parsley
Toppings
- 1 cup kale chopped and loosely packed
- 1 green onion sliced
- ½ carrot julienned
- ¼ cup peanuts roughly chopped

Instructions
- Make the soba noodles according to the instructions on the package.
- While the soba noodles are cooking, combine all peanut sesame sauce ingredients except for the parsley in the food processor and blend until smooth and well-combined. Add the parsley and pulse a few more times. If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the parsley with a knife and whisk the sauce ingredients together in a large bowl.
- When the soba noodles are cooked, drain and rinse them under cold water, shaking the colander to prevent them from sticking together.
- Prep the toppings. Chop the peanuts, green onions, and kale. Julienne the carrots.
- Combine the cooked soba noodles and the peanut sesame sauce. Serve and top with desired toppings. Squeeze lime wedge over the noodles to add a hint of acidity.
