These creamy zucchini + soba noodles are one of my go-to weeknight dinners. The peanut sauce is absolutely DIVINE, and I like to mix soba + zucchini noodles to get that extra veg in. These are:

  • Gluten-free and vegan

  • Super quick + easy to whip together

  • Full of healthy fat and protein from the peanut sauce

  • Customizable - you can add whatever protein and veg you love!

Creamy Zucchini + Soba Noodles with Peanut Sauce


Ingredients

  • 1 package soba noddles (I like King Soba brand)

  • 1 zucchini, spiralized

  • 3 carrots, shredded

  • ¼ head of purple cabbage, thinly shredded

  • ¼ cup + 2 tbsp peanut butter

  • 2 tbsp. tamari or soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp. sesame oil

  • 1 tbsp. maple syrup

  • 1 inch fresh ginger, minced

  • juice of one lime

  • pinch of chilli flakes

  • water to thin OR coconut milk for a creamier texture

  • cilantro + chopped peanuts for topping

Method

  1. Start by cooking your soba noodles according to the package directions. Drain + rinse them with cold water, then combine with the spiralized zucchini and shredded veggies and set aside.

  2. To make the peanut sauce, combine the peanut butter, lime juice, tamari, sesame oil, maple, ginger + chilli flakes in a small jar and shake vigorously to combine (you could also do it in a blender).

  3. Pour all of the sauce onto the noodles and veggies and combine. Top with cilantro and peanuts just before serving, and enjoy!
