    Are you a soba noodle fan?  I've been converted into one recently.

    I just can't get enough of the slightly nutty flavour of the buckwheat!  They are also quick cooking and versatile (can be eaten hot or cold) and I love that they are a good source of both fibre and protein, which you can't say about regular wheat noodles.

    This recipe for broccoli peanut soba noodles is quickly becoming one of my favourite ways to eat buckwheat noodles.  The whole dish comes together in under 20 minutes with minimal mess, it's totally kid friendly, and if you're like me you already have all the ingredients on hand.

    How to make Broccoli peanut soba noodles

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil.  While the water is reaching a boil, whisk together the peanut butter, tamari, seasoned rice vinegar and garlic.

    When the pot reaches a boil, add the soba noodles to the water and cook according to package directions.  This is usually 6-8 minutes.

    While the noodles are cooking, place the broccoli in a steamer basket on top of the boiling water, and cook the broccoli until it gets brighter in colour but is still firm, about 3-4 minutes.  If you don't have a steamer basket, steam your broccoli in another pot.

    When the noodles are cooked, drain them into a colander and run cool water over them to since off any excess starch.  This is an important step to cook your noodles from clumping and sticking together.

    Put the strained noodles back into the pot and place over a burner on medium heat.

    Add the peanut sauce and spinach to the pot and toss the noodles to coat them with sauce.  Keep tossing the noodles while the pot is on the burner until the spinach starts to wilt, then add the broccoli and toss through.

    Now you are ready to eat!!  I like to serve these noodles with sesame seeds and cilantro for garnish.

      Overall good sauce but needs some work - would recommend adding coconut milk to the sauce and only using ¼ cup peanut butter for a lighter color and less peanut-buttery taste. Also make sure to use only all natural (no sugar added) peanut butter or else it will be far too sweet! The fresh cilantro on the top is golden.
