Prepare 1 recipe of Thai peanut dressing in a high-speed blender. Place in the refrigerator to chill.

In the meantime, prepare the vegetables.

Because the noodles only take 5 minutes to cook, prepare the vegetables first by cutting them and setting them aside.

Then, boil a pot of water with a teaspoon of salt.

I always use a wide pot when I cook long pasta, so it fits in the pan without breaking and cooks evenly.

Wait until the water is bubbling, and add the dry soba noodles.

Stir to combine and prevent noodles from sticking together.

The noodles only cook for 5 minutes, no longer.

Remove the noodles from the stove, pour them into a colander, and immediately rinse with cold water.

Toss the noodles around, so the cold water cools all the noodles.

Transfer the cooled noodles into a bowl, add the vegetables, and toss in the dressing.

If you wish, add additional cilantro and some peanuts as a garnish, and don't forget the wedge of lime.
