I saw a version of this soba noodle salad while scrolling through Instagram. A delicious and fresh combination with a bit of everything that I love to eat. Soba noodles, red cabbage, coriander and peanut sauce. I like to eat lots of different vegan side dishes and make a meal this way. This soba noodle salad is going to the top of the list. This can be prepared in advance and takes a total of 15 minutes to make from beginning to end. Easy.
