SPICY SOBA NOODLES / Bravo Express

Yield: 
Makes 4 Servings

Soba noodles work well in this recipe because they cook quickly, but any type of noodle can be substituted if you prefer.

It’s hard to predict how spicy jalapeño chiles will be, so put in just half to start with and then taste the dressing so you can decide whether it has enough heat or you want more.

Ingredients: 

6 ounces soba noodles
2 cups Jalapeño-Peanut Dressing 
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup fresh basil leaves, lightly packed
¼ cup peeled and chopped fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted (see page 16; optional)
