  1. Made last night for supper. Didn't have soba noodle, so we just used regular. I also didn't cook the carrots with the noodles, as I wanted them to remain a bit crunchy. Skipped the edamame as we didn't have any on hand, and not sure that we missed them anyway. My husband really liked this, which surprised me because he's not always big on "Asian" food, but he does really like PB. I thought it was pretty good and was hoping our son would like it because of the PB, but he wasn't really interested in it. I also forgot to add the water to the sauce, but was happy with the consistency of it anyway. I used natural PB which is a little runny anyway so maybe that was why. Made my own Asian dressing (oil, vinegar, duck sauce, sesame seeds, and crushed red pepper). I think I would have liked it better with the soba noodles and would recommend using them if you have them, but the regular noodles worked okay. I'm actually kind of excited to try the leftovers cold for lunch today. I think it might be like a cool Asian "pasta salad."
