Peanut soba

Soba noodles dressed in peanut-sesame sauce, with tofu cubes, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, green salad mix, cilantro, and carrot-daikon-radish pickles. I usually find soba noodles too plain, but this was surprisingly flavourful with the creamy sauce and tangy pickles! Also very balanced and satiating for a cold salad. (13,500 won)

This is just a beautiful dish both to look at and to taste. I ordered mine with the extra tempeh and it was so worth it for the added smokey flavour. The pickled carrot and radish noodles on top of the soba ones were plentiful and very tasty, as was the peanut sauce that all the salad leaves, cucumber, tomato halves and tofu cubes were tossed in. A great, satisfying salad.

I really love peanut based meals. So, this was right up my alley. It was really refreshing for the summer because it was a colder dish. It was a perfect lunch meal. Filling enough to keep you going, but not filling enough that it's sit in your stomach during the summer. Light and fresh for summer. I would eat it again.
