COLD SESAME SOBA NOODLES

I think I eat more noodles than rice on any given days 🙂 I like cold noodles and cold sesame soba noodles is one of my favorites and so easy to make. This serves as a nice appetizer.

2. In a big bowl, add in sesame paste, peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, water and chili powder and mix them well

3. Heat a skillet with 2 Tbsp of canola oil and stir fry the garlic and ginger until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Add this into no.2
