Spicy Almond Soba Noodles

Spicy Almond Soba Noodles

Raw Almond Butter

1. Place almonds in a food processor or high-speed blender and process until they become fine crumbs. Add in salt (if using) and oil a bit at a time and process more until it becomes a smooth past, adding more oil to reach the desired texture.
2. Transfer to a jar and keep refrigerated. Makes a 10-oz jar.

Spicy Almond Sauce

1. Blend the almond butter, rice vinegar, agave, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste in a food processor or high-speed blender until completely smooth. Add hot water as needed to reach the desired consistency (about 3 teaspoons). Add salt to taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. This sauce can be made in advance and kept in the refrigerator for up to a week.

To Cook and Serve

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt and a splash of olive oil. Add the soba noodles and cook until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large sauté pan or wok, heat a splash of olive oil over high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, cabbage, and broccoli and sauté for 5-10 minutes until desired crispness is reached.
3. Remove vegetables from heat, add the noodles, and toss with the spicy almond sauce, scallions, and red bell pepper. Top with toasted almond slivers and additional sauce, if desired.
