Peanut Soba Noodles with Bok Choy

August 24, 2016 / Vegetarian, Dinner

Excellent hot or cold, these peanut soba noodles with bok choy are an easy dinner or lunch.

Peanut soba noodles with bok choy are a light lunch or dinner. You can add cooked chicken or tofu if you like.

You know how when you move, you try to eat everything in your house so you don’t need to pack it or throw it away? That’s sort of how this recipe came into being.

It’s also because I was basically craving everything peanut after my peanut farm tour and knew the situation couldn’t simply be remedied with a spoon and jar of PB. Sometimes cravings mean making a real meal, not desserts!

One of my favorite things is soba noodle salads, so it was pretty easy to jump in with this recipe. Soba noodles are great because they cook up really easily and taste delicious hot or cold.

They’re also gluten free, as buckwheat is not actually a wheat, so this is a great recipe for all diets except those with peanut allergies. Sorry guys!

I had baby bok choy on hand because it tempted me at the grocery store. Bok choy is in the cabbage family, so if you like cabbage or Brussels sprouts you likely enjoy bok choy.

Baby bok choy is a bit milder in flavor and is incredibly easy to prepare, which makes it perfect for a quick recipe like this one.

All you need to do is whisk up the dressing, cook the noodles, and steam-fry the bok choy. I cut up some extra veggies while the bok choy was cooking. You can add other vegetables too, like cucumber or thinly sliced red pepper.

I kept this recipe vegetarian, but you could add cooked diced chicken or tofu, or even chickpeas. Soba noodle dishes are really customizable, so don’t feel limited by the recipe!

Excellent hot or cold, these peanut butter soba noodles with bok choy make a great dinner or lunch. Add extra veggies if you like!


If you don’t want heat in your dish, you can skip the addition of chiles and hot sauce. It’s great without them, and more family friendly! Have hot sauce on the side for those who like it. If you like spicy peanut dishes, try my marinated peanut butter beef satay.

Don’t forget the extra peanuts!
