Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cup cooked soba noodles
  • 2 Tbsp. canola oil
  • 1/3 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 6 oz. portabella mushrooms, cut into ¼” strips
  • 2 cups coleslaw mix
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 12 – spring roll wrappers
  • Dish of warm water

Instructions

  1. Prepare soba noodles according to package directions. A stack about one-inch in diameter is enough to prepare the necessary amount of noodles.
  2. When the noodles have cooked immediately drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
  3. Heat the canola oil in a 12” skillet. Add peanut butter and red pepper flakes. Add portabella mushrooms strips and cook for 3-5 minutes. Flip mushroom strips and cook another minute.
  4. Add coleslaw mix and cook until the cabbage and carrots are soft and partially cooked. Add soba noodles and chopped cilantro and toss mixture.
  5. Remove from heat.
  6. Follow package directions to soften spring roll wrappers. Most require that each wrapper be dipped in warm water for 10-15 seconds to soften. Immediately add a heaping ¼ cup of soba noodle and mushroom mix to one end of the roll. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the mixture and then roll to complete.
