Vegan Spicy Peanut Soba Noodles
One of my go-to easy vegan lunches is always to boil some noodles, make a delicious sauce, and pair it with whatever veggies I have in the refrigerator. There aren’t many things that are much easier to make, it’s easy to mix it up by swapping out the veggies, type of pasta and sauce you’re using, and you can fit it to any mood you’re in!
For a long time I had my Vegan Drunken Noodles on repeat, by lately my new favorite take on this formula is definitely this recipe for spicy peanut soba noodles! The sauce is so creamy and deeply savory, the peanuts are satisfyingly crunchy and all the veggies make it feel so fresh! What’s not to like?
The soba noodles are perfect for this Asian-inspired recipe. They’re made with buckwheat flour, which is high in fiber and protein with a naturally nutty flavor. They’re perfect paired with this vegan peanut sauce and a bunch of crisp veggies!

Ingredients for Peanut Soba Noodles
Not only are these peanut soba noodles done in 15 minutes, but the ingredients are also super simple and easy to customize. Here’s everything you’ll need to make them:
- Soba noodles. You could also use ramen noodles, rice noodles or even spaghetti.
- Jalapeno. You can scale the jalapeno up or down based on your preference.
- Peanut butter. Creamy or crunchy!
- Coconut aminos. Soy sauce is also great.
- Rice vinegar. Fresh lime or white distilled vinegar also work.
- Agave nectar. To sweeten the sauce and balance the flavor.
- Garlic. You’ll need two cloves of garlic.
- Ground ginger. Freshly grated ginger is also delicious!
- Sriracha. A drizzle of Sriracha is delicious alongside the jalapeno.
- Veggies. I’m using bell pepper, carrots, and red cabbage.
- Toppings. Chopped peanuts, lime wedges, sliced green onions and cilantro are all delicious on top!
