    Speedy Sriracha-Peanut Soba Noodles with Smoky Maple Skillet Chickpeas


    This meal is fast, easy and packed with plant-based flavor. Try my Speedy Sriracha-Peanut Soba Noodles with Smoky Maple Skillet Chickpeas for your next lunch or dinner meal!..

    I am super excited because I am heading out of the office for a full week, leaving my husband and kitties to fend for themselves as I go on a wellness retreat with my friend Cat of Rabbit Food for My Bunny Teeth. I cannot wait to share that experience with you here on the blog – and follow the adventure on social media as well. But for right now all I can think about is how delicious and easy this meal is!

    Seriously speedy. I whipped this up in about twenty minutes for lunch today and felt so satisfied after a hot meal in the middle of the day. Who says hot lunches are dead? Not me! I really hope you give this recipe a whirl and let me know what you think!..

    And the leftover sauce, if you have any, is delicious as a tofu marinade or skillet sauce or salad dressing. SO good!

    Speedy Sriracha-Peanut Soba Noodles with Smoky Maple Chickpeas

    These creamy peanut noodles are sassy and spicy and easy to make in a flash. Add chickpeas on top to complete the meal.

    Ingredients

    • sriracha peanut sauce:
    • ½ cup roasted + salted peanuts
    • ¾ cup hot water from cooking the soba noodles
    • 3 tablespoon sriracha
    • 2 tablespoon maple or agave syrup
    • 1-2 cloves garlic (optional)
    • Soba:
    • 6oz dry soba noodles
    • Chickpeas:
    • 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas (drained/rinsed from a can)
    • 1 teaspoon smoky paprika
    • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon chipotle powder or another fave spice
    • 1 teaspoon agave or maple syrup
    • ½ – 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil for cooking
    • Optional garnish: chopped peanuts, lime wedges, chopped greens, sriracha

    Instructions

    1. Bring a pot of water (enough for pasta) to a boil. Add soba noodles. Cook according to package or until tender. Reserve 1 cup of the the cooking liquid and drain the rest. Rinse soba noodles in cold water and set aside.
    2. To make the sauce: add all sauce ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Add more water if you like a thinner sauce.
    3. Toss the soba noodles with about ½ cup of sauce and pour the remaining sauce into a small bowl for adding on top as desired. (You will have some leftover sauce but it is delicious as a salad dressing or a sauce for tofu, tempeh or skillet beans!)
    4. For the chickpeas: Warm a skillet over high heat and add oil. When oil is hot add the chickpeas. Saute for 2 minutes, then add the spices and sweetener. Shake pan ever few seconds to evenly distribute the spices. Cook until the chickpeas begin to blacken a bit. Remove from skillet.
    5. To serve: Spoon chickpeas over top the pasta. Add lime wedges, crushes peanuts and chopped greens as optional garnish.
