Ready to eat? Let’s get cooking.

Ingredients

For the almond butter dressing:

• ½ cup Ezra Cohen Montreal Natural Almond Butter
• ⅓ cup of rice wine vinegar
• ¼ cup toasted sesame oil
• ¼ cup coconut aminos
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• ½ tbsp sambal oelek or sriracha (or less, if you don’t want it too spicy)
• 2 tbsp freshly grated ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, grated

For the noodles:

• ½ pound soba noodles
• 3 bell peppers (we like to do one red, one yellow, one orange), diced
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced
• 1 cucumber, diced
• ¾ cup shelled edamame
• 5 scallions, white parts chopped and green parts set aside for garnish
• ½ cup almonds, lightly roasted and chopped
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds

Directions

1. Cook your soba noodles according to package directions. Once done, drain in a colander and then immediately rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat dry.
2. Add cooked soba noodles and veggies to a large bowl and stir until well combined. Set aside.
3. Whisk together all almond butter dressing ingredients until smooth. If it’s a little too thick, add water a teaspoon at a time until the dressing has reached your desired consistency.
4. Pour almond butter dressing over noodles and veggies and stir to combine. Garnish with leftover scallions, chopped almonds, and sesame seeds.

These almond butter noodles can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to five days, though we doubt they’ll last that long! For a complete meal, top with crispy baked tofu or serve alongside your favorite potstickers.
