I have a love of Asian noodle salads. Usually sesame, but even though I don’t really like peanut butter, this fit the bill too. Cold or hot, udon or soba, I just love noodle salads. I really liked this one and made a full batch so I would have something to snack on. I particularly like that this salad also has some seitan in addition to the peanut butter, so it’s got a little protein.
