Aromatic Ginger Cashew Cream Noodles [Vegan]:
For the Noodle Salad:
- One 9-ounce package of soba noodles.
- 1 cucumber, chopped
- 1 red pepper, chopped
- 2 carrots, shredded
- 1 cup pea pods
- 1 cup cilantro, chopped
For the Cashew Sauce:
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce

- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar
- 1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Gently simmering a rich and velvety ginger cashew cream sauce is the perfect accompaniment to springy vegan noodles.
To Make the Cashew Sauce:
- Finely mince the garlic.
- Combining all sauce ingredients, excluding cashews, in a blender, I blend until they’re seamlessly integrated.
- Blend in the raw cashews until they’re thoroughly incorporated into a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Allow the sauce to sit momentarily as you attend to cooking the noodles and vegetables. The sauce will blend harmoniously into the noodles as you stir.
To Assemble:
- Cook noodles as directed on the packaging, following the recommended cooking time and method for best results. Drain and set aside.
- Sprinkle toasted cashews as a garnish on your noodles for added crunch and flavor. Bake toast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately five minutes.
- Prepare all of the vegetables.
- Combine cooked noodles with a savory sauce, then incorporate a medley of sautéed vegetables for a harmonious fusion of flavors and textures.
- Add a pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper, and an extra dash of Sriracha for added flavor. Serve.
