Any recipe that includes peanut butter, lime juice and brown sugar would normally be ignored on the spot. But the picture on the website had me. It looked delicious. Here's what I tried:
INGREDIENTS
12 oz. soba noodles (I used rice noodles instead. I LOVE rice noodles!)
6 Tbsp fresh lime juice
3 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
3 Tbsp reduced-fat peanut butter
1 Tbsp Splenda Brown Sugar Blend (or 3 Tbsp of regular brown sugar)
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup cooked chicken, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 cup scallions, sliced
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
Sesame seeds, as garnish
DIRECTIONS
Cook soba noodles according to package directions. I wanted to add some vegetables, so I threw them into the water to cook with the noodles. Meanwhile, whisk together peanut butter and 3 tablespoons of lime juice.
Whisk in the rest of the ingredients, including your fresh herbs, and toss with the noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and enjoy!
So... I made a mistake with the chicken. I didn't have it pre-cooked. So I cooked it in a skillet with a generous amount of teriyaki sauce. Then I added everything else into the skillet, including the noodles when they were done. It wasn't according to directions, but it worked just fine.
And it was.... delicious. The peanut butter/soy sauce/lime juice mix was amazing. Extremely different, but terrific. Definitely try this at home.
