Use your noodle, and you’ll be rewarded with delightful tastes and textures that think beyond meat. Soba is a Japanese classic for its nutty buckwheat flavour and slim profile, well suited to swirling around in a creamy sauce. White miso paste, rich peanut butter and lime juice have all the angles covered. Roasting nutritious sweet potatoes releases even more natural sweetness, for tender contrast to springy string peas and crisp celery.

Preparation
Roast the sweet potatoes
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Place the pouch of peanut butter in a small bowl of warm water to soften. Medium-dice the sweet potatoes. Mince the garlic. On a lined sheet pan, toss the sweet potatoes with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 20 to 25 min., until golden brown and tender. In the final 5 min., add ½ the garlic.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the string peas. Thinly slice the string peas and celery crosswise on an angle. Juice the lime.
Boil the noodles
Add the noodles to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 3 to 4 min., until tender. Drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Make the sauce
In a large bowl, combine the miso, peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, and remaining garlic and spices. Whisk in 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) until smooth.
Combine the noodles & serve
To the bowl of sauce, add the noodles, sweet potatoes, string peas, celery and S&P; stir well. Divide the noodles between your bowls. Bon appétit!
