Soba Noodles with Edamame and Spicy Peanut Sauce

Soba Noodles Peanut Edamame-3I feel blessed to have found food blogging and photography and enjoy it tremendously.  It’s been a gift in many ways, and being inspired to try new dishes is one of those blessings.  We don’t eat the same thing all the time, certainly not on a set schedule or rotation.  I’m not poo-pooing schedules because I live by schedules.  I work full-time, blog and bake and have been blessed with free-lance photography jobs here and there.  I would be nothing without my schedules.  Having free-rein to cook and bake whatever I want, and try any recipe or method that intrigues me, is pretty awesome.  Meatless Mondays has been another one of those blessings.  We are eating healthier and have tried some wonderful, new, easy dishes perfect for a weeknight meal.

 

Soba Noodles Peanut Edamame-1I am a sucker for peanuts – so finding a recipe with peanut butter and peanuts made this a done deal.  Add in a lot of green and pasta, and well, I’m a happy girl.  Have you tried Soba noodles?  Soba is the Japanese name for buckwheat noodles.  They have a nice texture and are very hardy but any noodle will do in this dish.   The recipe is super easy to put together and was actually terrific eaten cold the next day.  Cook the Soba noodles and during the last five minutes, add the frozen edamame.  Puree peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, honey, sesame oil, water and a little Sambal Oelek Chili Paste in a blender until smooth.  Toss the pasta and Edamame with sliced snow peas, green onions, and peanuts.  Drizzle or toss with the peanut butter mixture and serve garnished with peanuts. Done, done and done!

 

Soba Noodles Peanut Edamame-2Meatless Monday is once again a success at our house!  We tried another new (tweaked) recipe and are so happy we did!  We both love a little spice so the heat from the garlic chili paste was perfect.  Use your favorite hot sauce if you don’t have Sambal Oelek Chili Paste or skip it all together.

Recipe Notes

The guest bathroom renovation continues.  The painting is done and the tile floor is going in.  We’re getting close and I couldn’t be happier.  You know how you start a project and 6 other things have to be done before you can complete the one you started with?  Oh the joy of home projects!  Happy Monday – I hope you have a wonderful week.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

    I am glad you found blogging, too!!! =) I love all the healthy choices you are mixing in with the decadent. That is my goal… to eat healthy as much as I can… without being a slave to “no fun”… which means there has to be a little bit of decadence in my life! This sounds so good… and “hearty” enough Mr. Stanley wouldn’t fuss about the no meat. Hehee. Thank you. blessings ~ tanna
    ps I DO know how one thing in a remodel can lead to six more! Hang in there! You’re going to love it when you’re finished. =)

    I agree that blogging makes one eat a whole lot better. Or at least try a lot of interesting things one might not otherwise try. Best thing about blogging — after reading other blogs, of course! Anyway, this is a great dish — perfect for the weather we’re moving into. Plus it’s pretty! Always a plus. Thanks!

    We are really on the same page, Tricia! Whenever it begins to get warm, I start craving a nice soba noodle bowl…and I love peanut sauce on noodles. In fact, I just made noodles Sunday night that’s somewhat similar. This looks so delicious! I’m really glad you continue to blog, and do it so well, even with your busy schedule. Good luck with all your home renovation projects. We have a few little things going on now that it’s Spring too. Anyway…I’m off to work soba noodles into my meal plan. : )
