This cold and refreshing salad is the perfect summer meal. Tender soba noodles are mixed together with crisp fresh vegetables under a blanket of spicy peanut dressing and finished with a shower of sesame seeds and fresh cilantro leaves. This salad can be made in advance and enjoyed throughout the week, but we recommend adding the cilantro just before serving.

Directions
1) Place 4 oz soba noodles in the Suvie starch strainer set within the Suvie pasta pot (green handles). If soba noodles are too long, break ends to fit. Place lid on pot and place inside the Suvie Starch Cooker, ensuring pot is centered on the hotplate. Input settings and cook now.
