This is one of those rare dishes that virtually everyone finds appealing.
What's not to like, really?
Soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil add tasty Asian flavors and tahini or peanut butter (the choice is up to you) provide richness and texture.
Tahini adds a stronger sesame flavor whereas peanut butter guarantees that even kids will devour these noodles.
This recipe is super quick to make and you probably already have most of the ingredients in your pantry.
You can find soba noodles in the Asian section of most supermarkets.
If you can't find them, thin spaghetti noodles will work just fine.
Add steamed vegetables and perhaps some shrimp or tofu to turn this into a complete meal in minutes!
