Equipment

Large mixing bowl
Small bowl to thaw the edamame
Blender (or bowl + whisk if making it manually) to make the peanut sauce
Sharp knife
Medium pot

Ingredients

8 oz Asian noodles or regular spaghetti I used brown rice soba noodles
Thai peanut butter sauce see notes for recipe, I used about half of the batch
1 cup carrots (about 2 carrots) julienned or shredded
1 cup cucumber (about half of a English cucumber) julienned
1 red pepper finely sliced
2-3 green onions sliced
1 cup frozen shelled edamame thawed
½ cup cilantro chopped, plus more for topping
¼ cup peanuts plus more for topping

Instructions

Cook the noodles accordingly to packaging.
While the noodles are cooking, make the peanut butter sauce and chop the veggies. Also thaw the edamame in hot water for about 5 minutes (you can use the microwave), then drain.
In a large bowl, add the noodles, carrots, cucumber, red pepper, green onion, edamame, peanuts and cilantro. Pour some of the sauce and stir to combine. Add more of the sauce as needed, you may be left with some extra sauce to use for another recipe.
Divide in serving bowls and top with more cilantro and peanuts. Add sriracha for a spicy noodle bowl. Enjoy!

Notes

You can find my peanut butter sauce by clicking on the link.
I used the soba noodles from the brand Lotus. Use any kind of noodles you like, especially Asian-style noodles if you have them, but regular spaghetti or linguini work too.
You might need to add an extra splash of water to the noodles to help mix everything together.
Store leftovers in an air-tight container for 3-4 days. The noodles are great to eat at room temperature or cold, but you can warm them up for a few seconds using a microwave if you want. I like to add some of the extra peanut sauce over leftovers if the noodles dry out a bit.
