How to Make Peanut Chicken And Soba Salad

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water (about 6 quarts) to a rolling boil.
  2. Add 8 ounces of soba noodles and cook according to package directions, usually about 7 minutes, until tender.
  3. Drain noodles in a colander and rinse under cold water until completely cooled. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.
  4. Toss cooled noodles with 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Cover and refrigerate.
  5. While noodles chill, prepare the peanut sauce: In a food processor, combine 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, 1-2 jalapeños (seeded and minced, adjust to taste), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 inch ginger (grated), 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon dry sherry, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste). Process until smooth.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more soy sauce for saltiness, lime juice for tang, or sugar for sweetness.
  7. In a large bowl, combine the chilled noodles with 1 cup cooked chicken strips (about 1.5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and sliced), 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color), 1/2 cup chopped cucumber, 1/4 cup chopped peanuts, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions.
  8. Pour the peanut sauce over the noodle mixture and toss gently to coat.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
