Peanut Soba Noodles with Broccoli and Red Pepper

Instructions

Boil a big pot of water. Add the soba noodles and cook according to the instructions on the package. Drain and rinse with cold water. (Tip: soba noodles seem to be more finicky than regular whole wheat pasta, so really, you need to cook them in a lot of water, be sure not to overcook them, and rinse them immediately.)
Sauté your broccoli and red peppers over medium high heat with a splash of vegetable oil for about 5 minutes.
Whisk together the sauce, adding the hot water in increments at the end. As Heidi put it, you want it to be the consistency of a thin yogurt.
Once your noodles are done cooking, rinsed and drained, toss together the noodles, broccoli, red peppers, cilantro, green onions and sauce.
Portion into small bowls and top with a sprinkling of dry roasted peanuts.
