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.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

  • 8 ounces (226g) soba noodles
  • 1 cup shelled edamame
  • 1 red pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1⁄4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1⁄4 cup all-natural peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed

Recipe
Samkeh Harra (fish with tahini sauce and nuts)

‘Fish doesn’t have to be boring—my mother taught me that. Samkeh harra translates to “spicy fish,” though it’s more about a gentle kick than true heat. It’s a perfect balance of creamy, nutty tahini and the crunch of golden, roasted nuts. Oh, I do love nuts! I usually overload my plate so you almost can’t see the fish anymore, but that’s me. The nuts bring a deep, toasty richness that elevates the dish into something truly irresistible.’
