Ingredients
>
2 - inch piece fresh ginger
>
1 bunch green onions
>
1 lemon
>
3 tbsp unsalted peanuts
>
2 tbsp peanut butter
>
1 tbsp soy sauce
>
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
>
1 (8 oz) pkg soba noodles
>
2 cups snow peas
>
1 cucumber

1 cup fresh cilantro
Steps
1
Peel and grate the ginger. Slice the green onions into rings. Juice the lemon and chop peanuts coarsely. In a bowl, mix together the ginger, lemon juice, peanut butter, soy sauce, and 2 tbsp tap water. Stir until they form a smooth dressing. Meanwhile, bring a pan of salted water to a boil.
2
Poach the chicken in barely-simmering water for 20 min., or until fully cooked. While chicken cooks, cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and cool under cold, running water.
3
While chicken is poaching, cook the snow peas in salted, boiling water for 3 min. or until crisp and tender. Drain and cool under cold running water.
4
Toss the noodles with the soy dressing until completely coated. Add salt (in moderation) and pepper to taste. Slice the cucumber into rings, then cut the rings into ½-inch matchsticks. Coarsely chop the cilantro and slice the chicken breast. Toss chicken, cucumber, green onions, and cilantro with the noodles. Top with peanuts and serve immediately.
