I had a yummy cold noodle salad from Republic in Union Square for dinner which is a refreshing combination of wheat noodles, bean sprouts, carrots, peanuts, mint, fried shallots, jicama and peanut sauce. I make a version of this salad using a recipe from my favorite food blog Orangette. Here it is:
Sauce:
½ cup well-stirred natural peanut butter
1 ½ tsp. soy sauce
¼ tsp. pressed garlic
½ cup fresh lime juice
½ tsp. sriracha or a similar hot sauce, or more to taste
½ tsp. chili garlic sauce
2 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. water
Noodles:
½ to ¾ lb. soba noodles
3 red radishes, very thinly sliced with a knife or mandolin
2 small (or 1 large) carrots, very thinly sliced with a knife or mandolin
1 medium baby bok choy or other green vegetable (snow peas, green onion), sliced
Fresh cilantro or basil leaves, for serving
De-lish!
