Soba noodles include some buckwheat flour, which has a distinctive nutty quality. It pairs beautifully with zesty, fragrant flavours – here we've added fresh coriander, spring onion, lime and green chilli for a big hit of flavour. This is lovely noodle salad for lunch or a light dinner for two.

Method

Cook the noodles to pack instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water until cold. Toss in the sesame oil. Dry-fry the sesame seeds in a frying pan for 2-3 mins until toasted; set aside.
Put the coriander leaves and stalks (reserving a handful of leaves), chilli, peanut butter, 2 tbsp soy sauce, the vinegar, ground coriander and lime zest and juice into a blender with 75ml cold water and blend to a smooth green sauce. Taste and add a little more soy if needed.
Pour the sauce into a bowl with an ice cube and toss through the noodles until coated. The ice cube will keep the sauce glossy and chilled.
Divide between bowls and top with the spring onions, toasted sesame seeds, crispy onions, if using, and reserved coriander leaves alongside the lime quarters for squeezing over. Drizzle with chilli oil, if you like.
