Peanut Sauce Cold Noodle


This is one of my favorite hot weather food. It is super easy and you can use all kind of vegetable cooked or raw. I once served this at our house party and ask guests to fix their own plates. It was a big hit and kids friendly. Who can say no to Peanut Butter?!

INGREDIENTS

  • 5 bundle of Buckwheat Noodles
  • 1 box firm Tofu dice
  • 2 Japanese Cucumber, slice or julienned (English cucumber will works, too)
  • 1 Bell Pepper, julienned
  • 1 bag Bean spout
  • 1 Cauliflower
  • 1 bundle of Asparagus
  • Sesame seed

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring a large pot of water to boil, add noodles and return water to a boil. Cook for 6-8 mins until noodles is done; rinsing with cold water and drain well. (Angel hair pasta will works, too)
  2. Bring another large pot of water to boil, boil Cauliflower until it's soft. Remove the Cauliflower from the boiling water and place in the ice bath. This will stop it from cooking. Remove from ice bath once it's cool down.
  3. Boil Asparagus and bean sport as Cauliflower. (I use all different vegetable. Green bean taste very good, too!)
  4. Place noodles and vegetable on a plate and add peanut sauce with sesame seed. Enjoy!
