Preparation
- Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a medium bowl, whisk peanut butter, hot water, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, lime juice and Sriracha until smooth. Season to taste with salt. Add sugar, if using, and stir. Set aside.
- Step 2
Drop the snap peas into the boiling water and cook until they just turn bright green, about 30 seconds. Using a mesh strainer or a spider (leave the water in the pot), transfer to a colander and rinse under cold water until cool. Drain and slice each pea lengthwise into 2 or 3 pieces. Set aside.
- Step 3
Return water to a boil and cook soba noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool (if noodles get sticky, rinse again with cool water).
- Step 4
In a large serving bowl, toss noodles with the chicken, mango and peanut dressing. Add two-thirds of the snap peas, cucumbers, cilantro and chiles, reserving the rest for garnish. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Step 5
When ready to serve, top with remaining snap peas, cucumbers, cilantro and chiles and serve immediately.

I am vegetarian, so I immures the chicken, but this turned out great! I couldn’t find the right Chile’s so I used seeded jalapeños instead and then added some sliced red bell pepper to compensate for color. It was fantastic. Would definitely make again.
Wonderful! Mango pairs so well with the peanut dressing. I added sliced green onions, used tiny Persian cuke and lime wedges to squeeze. Lately I've been buying 100% buckwheat soba Eden Selected brand at Whole Foods. It's really much tastier, better texture than regular soba which contains wheat. Package says cook time 7 - 8 minutes, but it will be mush, I cook for 6 and it's perfect. This salad would also be good with small pink shrimp (51-60 count/pound).
100% buckwheat soba is a great tip... gluten free!
We had this tonight with shrimp instead of chicken- everything else as directed- and it was very good. I agree it was a little bland but some additional Sriracha solved that problem.
Agree with others: too bland. Doubled soy, ginger, lime juice, added garlic, hot pepper flakes, lime zest, and buckwheat honey. Next time I’ll sauce noodles and serve meat and veg on top so dish doesn’t get too goopy.
Far too much sauce I think! Also, I would probably use a quarter of the peanut butter suggested and instead add crushed peanuts
