Preparation Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Whisk together the minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, peanut butter, tahini, honey, and hot water.

Prepare the vegetables. Peel the cucumber if the skin is tough and slice thinly. Slice the bell pepper and green onions.

Boil the soba noodles according to the package instructions, usually about 3-6 minutes.

Rinse the noodles briefly in cold water to stop the cooking process, but leave them fairly warm. Toss with the sauce and the vegetables. Serve with a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
