Ingredients

Walnut Satay Sauce

  • ½ cup California walnuts
  • 2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup water, as needed

Walnut Garlic Topping

  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • ¼ cup California walnuts, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes

Stir Fry

  • 8 oz dry soba noodles
  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 1-inch ginger, peeled and grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup snap peas, cut in half at an angle
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • Fresh cilantro , to garnish
  • Green onion, to garnish
  • Sesame seeds, to garnish

Preparation

  1. Start by preparing the sauce. Add all sauce ingredients together in a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth, adding 1 Tbsp water at a time, if needed, until creamy. Adjust taste with more salt, if desired. Set aside.
  2. Make walnut garlic topping. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped walnuts, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Toast for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool.
  3. Cook soba noodles according to package directions. Reserve about ⅓ cup cooking water, drain, and set aside.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Add snap peas and cabbage. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  5. Stir in noodles, sauce, and about ¼ cup noodle cooking water (add more, if needed, to achieve desired creamy texture). Once noodles are completely covered in sauce, remove from heat.
  6. Serve noodle stir fry topped with walnut garlic topping, fresh cilantro, green onion, and sesame seeds.
