Soba Noodles with Almond Butter, Lime, and Chiles

I saw this in the paper and it sounded good - so thought I would share it with you:
(serves 4)

Dressing:
1/4 cup almond butter
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
2 T. Ponzu Citrus Sauce* (if you can't find this, use soy sauce)
1 T. light brown sugar
1 T. toasted* sesame oil
2 t. hot sauce, such as Sriracha

Noodles:
8 oz. cooked soba noodles (Japanese buckwheat noodles)
2 green onions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
1 red jalapeno or Fresno chile, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped (wear gloves*)
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
2 T. toasted sesame seeds

To prepare dressing, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour half the dressing over noodles and toss well. add more dressing if desired. Sprinkle remaining ingredients over noodles. Toss once or twice. Sere at room temp. or chilled.

Let the person behind you in line go first today.

And, don't forget to have FUN!!

Love,
