Easy peanut soba noodles

A simple yet flavourful noodle dish.

Soba noodles are 100% buckwheat noodles that are naturally gluten-free and rich in fibre. They have a mild flavour and firm texture, making them the perfect base for this easy, flavourful dish. This meal is perfect for a busy weeknight and also works really well packed in lunch boxes.
