Soba, a staple of Japanese cuisine, are spaghetti-size noodles made of buckwheat flour that boast a distinctively earthy flavour. This recipe teases out their natural nuttiness by tossing them in a heavenly combo of peanut butter, sweet soy sauce and rice vinegar. You’re also tossing in some crisp string peas and cabbage for colour and crunch. The 15-minute pièce de résistance is as simple as sautéeing peanuts in garlic and sesame to generously sprinkle over the works. Consider yourself warned, this is highly addictive.

Preparation
Boil the noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles; stir gently to separate. Boil, 1 to 2 min., until tender. Drain and rinse. Toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking. Wipe out and reserve the pot.
Toast the peanuts
In the same pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the sesame seeds, peanuts, ½ the garlic and S&P. Toast, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 min., until lightly browned and fragrant. Transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out and reserve the pot.
Make the sauce
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
Sauté the vegetables
Thinly slice the scallions crosswise. In the reserved pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the remaining garlic and ½ the scallions. Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until softened and fragrant. Add the string peas, cabbage and S&P. Sauté, 1 to 2 min., until crisp-tender.
Combine the noodles & serve
To the pot of vegetables, add the noodles, sauce and S&P; stir well. Divide the noodles between your bowls. Garnish with the peanuts and remaining scallions. Bon appétit!
