How to Serve Up Your Soba Noodles With Peanut Sauce

The beautiful thing about noodles is that your possibilities for dressing up or down are endless! Here are just a few of the delicious things you can do:

• Prep Some Protein – If you want to add some extra protein to your noodles, tofu, seitan, and tempeh all make excellent choices! Need some ideas? Check out our Garlicky-Ginger Marinated Tofu Triangles or Smoky Seitan Kebabs With Peanut Sauce.
• Mmmm, Mushrooms – Mushrooms are an excellent way to add a boost of flavor and texture to your noodles! If you haven’t given oyster mushrooms a try, you definitely should. They’ve got a naturally buttery and meaty texture and are a staple in Asian cooking.
• Gluten-Free Goodness – If you can’t do gluten, fret not! There are plenty of gluten-free noodle options available these days. Brown rice noodles have an excellent texture and flavor for this particular recipe. If zoodles or sweet potato noodles are more of your thing, then go wild! Both options are great with peanut sauce.

Storing Your Soba Noodles With Peanut Sauce

If you end up with leftovers, your noodles with peanut sauce will last about three days in the fridge when kept in an airtight container. If freezing, we would recommend separating the noodles from the veggies for easier re-heating. Since veggies cook quickly, it may taste best to make them when you’re ready to reheat your noodles!
