SPICY PEANUT SOBA NOODLES! (FAST EASY RECIPE) -

[@MariannaMartin]

I love how real things happen in this kitchen just like they do in life. So Awesome, funny and entertaining yet inspiring.

[@clareobrien2446]

Maybe next week you could try one of those Tasty/Buzzfeed recipes that are all over Facebook and veganize it? Just an idea! Love this series!

[@nopetoolowkeyy]

nope. she should just leave the original recipe, with the meats and dairy.

[@badeboyse]

+nopetoolowkeyy noo meat and dairy is gross

[@steveregal6321]

Vegan anything just no ...

[@pmodd]

1. What would be the point of "veganising" some random recipe, when there already exist plenty of "vegan recipes" Nikki could make instead, with reliable results. 2. Nikki isn't a chef, in fact she struggles to make her carrot strips look pimp, so "veganising a recipe" might be a little bit out of her league. Hell, I can cut sick carrot strips and I'd regard "veganising a recipe" as being out of my league, granted I have no beard and have not created a Tumblr account so I voice my outrage over something on a regular basis.

[@syerra7520]

Oh no! Nikki you used the wrong side of the grater!!! That side is for making bread crumbs!

[@ejejjeje]

OMG, ty so much!! I never knew what the fack that side was for! All my life.... Ahh. I will sleep well tonight.

[@nnjddr]

+ejejjeje hahaha me too

[@ninhbac04]

thanks ciarra.

[@mitchawesomefoot6139]

When you have to cut carrots thin like that, using a vegetable/potato peeler helps a bunch. For some dishes you need to slice them again as they'll end up too wide, but it's a lot easier imo, since they're flat by that point.

[@sid8997]

I'm pretty sure that with soba noodles, you need to rinse the noodles with cold water after you strain them?

[@sid8997]

So that they don't stick together

[@honeyblade5243]

correct

[@VickiSexton]

I think you do that with most noodles, otherwise they continue to cook and get all soggy!

[@Claudi771]

+Panda Canada rinsing rids noodles of starch!!! (I found that out once when I made rice stick noodles, the package instructions said to rinse after prepared I didn't think that was necessary BOY OH BOY was I wrong about that several days later when I discovered my rice stick noodles were a starch infested MESS!!!)

[@dancebiscuit8250]

but please for the love of god never rinse Italian semolina pasta, if you want the pasta not to stick try tossing in a little olive oil or sesame oil for Asian dishes

[@MiSSMt]

I'm loving your vegan recipes!! 😍

[@mackjackk20]

i look forward to these videos every week! SO relatable being a beginner cook myself! Thanks Nikki :)

[@isyaboytevin]

The thing I like about you is that you have tasteful sarcasm. Despite that, ou can tell that you truly have a genuine heart and are a caring optimistic person so I appreciate that you keep it real and don't compromise in hopes of more views.

[@RoboRope]

I thought I was going to have to go to bed without my Tasty Tuesday. Thank you.

[@NikkiLimo]

night night bby

Soba Noodles are typically bundled in 100 gram (3.4 ounce) lots, that's why it's wrapped in paper. It makes it easy for people to get their recipes correct. Soba noodles are one of those Japanese comfort foods which can be eaten at train stations, inexpensive standing (no seats, you eat at the counter and typically from ordering to finishing is less than 10 minutes) restaurants ($3 to $7 per bowl), simple restaurants, traditional restaurants and upscale soba restaurants. The noodles can vary in thickness and I prefer the standard thickness compared to the thinner ones. Get a hot bowl of soba topped with some seaweed and other items, compliment it with either a rice ball or a couple of inari sushi (rice wrapped tofu), a cup of tea or water and you should be one happy person. Years ago, there was a standing soba restaurant near the US Embassy in Tokyo that I frequented so often for lunch that the staff would see me coming and plate up my order. I miss that place. :( Cold soba, called Zaru Soba (ざるそば), is typically a summertime dish and served with a dipping sauce. I'm not a fan of it but it's pretty popular with the locals. So, the next time any of you are in Japan, hit up a Soba restaurant, standing or otherwise and get a bowl for yourself.

[@janjoy10]

I love watching tasty Tuesday bc the recipes are good and it's hilarious to watch someone learning to cook find out little things like putting the lid on the pot lol

[@Robcarrasco]

this is the sometimes when it doesnt work damn noodles! omg and that christmas music your killing me ugh i love you so much!

[@v0nskii]

I was the one who told her to put a lid on it to make it boil faster :) She's so pretty.

[@abigailpeterkin7033]

please do this again so i can see it done right it looks so good!!!! I love you nikki💜

[@13slot28]

Praise the Lord the shorts are back.

[@roxannet.6011]

Your tasty Tuesday vids are the best, girl!!!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@Brandond268]

I KISSED MY COMPUTER SCREEN PRETENDING IT WAS ACTUALLY YOU..... DEFINATLLY WORTH IT!!!

[@xtaylorxboyx]

It must have felt like loneliness

[@ejejjeje]

and tasted screeny

[@hrynkiee]

Nikki I just made this and it's SO GOOD THANK YOU 10/10 KEEP IT UP

[@RobinOrzo]

Make seitan! Also i've missed you! Are you still going to do NIRL? You're my fave on KZbin, I feel like I haven't seen my best friend in a while when I haven't seen you post a video in a little while haha

[@PetitePoulette247]

I love the pre-measured serving bundles. Sometimes I can't find them like that. FYI : 100% buckwheat(soba) noodles, are Gluten Free, but it's hard to find. Almost all Buckwheat noodles have Wheat in the ingredients. I've only found Eden Foods sells/makes GF/100% Buckwheat soba noodles. Otherwise: Pre-boil water before adding noodles (add a bit of salt if like); Move noodles occasionally while cooking; Once the noodles are cooked (if you are not going to use them immediately then) rinse noodles with drinkable water (no chlorine) and hold them in enough water (that they are not compacted tightly) after rinsing off the excess outer flour. This will cool them however. So you may need to warm them up a bit when you're ready to add them to the rest of the recipe ingredients. If you want cold noodles, you could add some ice cubes to the holding water. Slap it high if you actually read all of this. XD

[@itshayleymaybe]

This looks super tasty! I love peanut sauce and soba noodles so I think I'll make this for dinner tomorrow. Tbh glad I watched the video and I'll look out for those dastardly pieces of paper around the noodles because I would have 100% done the same thing!

[@nosilla081]

I love your tastytuesday videos, always look forward to them. Here's a tip for the noodle issue: put a bit of oil into the boiling water so that when you drain them, the noodles aren't as sticky and should be separated.

[@wholefoodiebeauty5912]

I literally just made this for breakfast! That's amazing I ALSO had all the ingredients in hand 😂🙌🏼 YAS!!!!

[@ajs6036]

When she pulled out the stuck noodles I laughed so hard at her expense lmao. Sorry Nikki

[@sarahseguin4199]

Full confession. I’ve watched every single episode of Tasty Tuesday. Some more than once so my girlfriend can watch it too. Btw we love you. You are the best.

[@yenyyanez9296]

love her sense of humor😁

[@beccashmekah]

For grating small things like ginger and garlic use a Microplane! Super impressed with how far you have come over all these Tasty Tuesday videos. You unknowingly cut those carrots julienne!!

[@tianatheoreo]

As soon as you dropped those noodles I was like oh no Nikki... I hope yours don't have the paper. Lol. Loving the vegan recipes!

[@hiro0216sprint]

Soba is absolutely delicious food in Japan. everyone have to try it.

[@brynmarkert4618]

Oh no Nikki, you're supposed to rinse off the soba noddles. That's why they're sticking together.

[@peterjohn428]

@ Nikki Tamari is a specific variety of soy sauce make without wheat. FYI, calling it "tamari" is really just shortened from "tamari soy sauce" and can mean other things in Japanese if you just say "tamari" just like how if you say "agave" instead of "agave syrup" you are technically referring to agave plants but everyone knows you are just shortening "agave syrup" and not actually using agave.

[@FrozenPoisonDust]

where have you been all my life and why is KZbin barely recommending hour videos to me? I've legit binged watched several videos of yours.

[@likwideffect]

is this good to eat when you're drunk because it will SOBA you up?

[@NikkiLimo]

I see you. ;)

[@likwideffect]

FAM!

[@ninhbac04]

get out

[@likwideffect]

+Indie Guy you mean... ManGo away? 😅

[@ninhbac04]

thelikwideffect ehhh but there were no mangos in the video

[@greenpeach20]

A trick for making really thinly sliced carrots and it's super easy: use a potato peeler. You'll get really paper thin strips and you can keep them long or cut them in half and you're done :)

[@shannpnx1]

add a Lil bit of oil to Ur water b4 adding the noodles. it'll help them not stick together

[@terrapeterson3414]

Love the plan based recipes!! Keep it up!

[@Robcarrasco]

it worked! i finished the video and i just love you lol

[@dodgeball693]

Microplane zester, get one! Get the one with the smallest holes, I think it's the most useful. You'll be zesting/grating everything you can, lol. Most large supermarkets even carry them.

[@JanellChristeen]

Thanks for dinner lol I randomly have all of these ingredients as well 😊 was wondering what to cook and felt lazy

[@jerrodp9867]

I've made this recipe and it is very simple. You managed to make it look difficult. Congrats. On the bright side, you look damn good making it.

[@candacelin4115]

Haha, finally a cooking video that I can relate to. I've lost count how many times my packets of soba end up just like that 😅

[@chuapea]

I feel for ya when I saw those noodles x.X Besides remembering to remove the paper and giving the noodles a stir once they go into the pot, you'd also want to rinse the noodles well once they're done to remove the excess starch. This creates a better mouthfeel and makes them taste better. Thats how they do it in Japan btw.

[@emmasnyder2618]

Nikki grabbing her noodles that she forgot to take the paper off of with a spoon that still had the tag on it is my mood

[@eunice3095]

Next time drain the noodles and immediately run cold water through them to prevent clumping. You could also toss through a teaspoon or so of sesame oil to help. As for your carrots...ditch the knife! Hold your carrot on the cutting board, take a vegetable peeler and press in firmly and pull it from top to bottom - wafer thin, long, wide carrot pieces that soak in more flavours from the sauce.

[@bjuana13]

your just the awesomest person on the face of the earth! your adorable keep up the good work ! Steve you have a good girl on your hands !

[@jloestrin]

For ginger, you can put a layer of plastic wrap over the side of the grater you're using, and grate on top of it. That way, you can just lift it up and not waste any of the ginger. Courtesy of Good Eats.

[@moonwatcher9014]

I tryed your carrot hotdogs mothers day every body loved it. Now its on the meal menu as a favorate dish.

[@thisisbri12]

I tried REALLY hard to stifle my laughter when you realized you fucked up the noodles. best laugh I've had in awhile!

[@jessallamani9487]

haha i love how your ladle still is attached to the paper it was sold on hahah. you crack me up and i really enjoy your videos. yummy looking ass recipes that i always end up trying out

[@darrelwillman3158]

#wcw Nikki "Tasty Tuesday" Limo, lol. Good one, I use the wide slots on the grater to do carrots, does little round slices. Grating normally is also a way to do fine carrots and celery, cucumber, etc. I never rinse noodles or pasta, but *do* toss them in the sauce or light olive olive oil immediately. A little oil in the water with the salt helps as well. I bet cashews would be great in those.

[@TheQwerty243]

ayy i love stuff like this - made vegan pad thai the other week and it was 10/10 - ill try this one when I've gone grocery shopping

[@TheLovelyKenne]

Watching your videos drunk is so much fun 😂😂😂 (I do watch your vids while sober, just to make things less creepy)

[@nataleemelendez4321]

When making something like that , you can actually use your vegetable peeler to thinly slice your carrots ! After you peel the outer peel off , use the peeler get make thin ribbons of carrots :)

[@WatchDoggyDog]

Yumm, these are so hilarious, 1 day I'll actually cook one of these!

[@eliseomercado1720]

Hate bad Quality videosssss!Omggggg its 2016666! love you!

[@torntigre]

I used a grater like yours... after I threw mine away someone told me to freeze whatever I needed to grate and it works better.

[@charlotte6359]

NIKKI IM STARVING WHY ARE U DOING THIS TO ME AT 12AM

[@Mikapikapies]

Wow that was extreme lol

[@kaybmarie]

TASTY TUESDAYYYYYSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im hungry now

[@MackenzieGMusic]

I heard of Nikki from Grace Helbig and I just... I want to be her best friend. Nikki is who I aspire to be.

[@denissegarcia479]

NIKKI!!! you did a good job, slap it high✋

[@loving110995]

I've made the mistake with some Fettuccini doodles before they all stuck and I tried to separate which was a hassal but my meal still turned out pretty good.

[@brookedavila577]

I have all the ingredients too!!!! This is amazing!!!!!

[@aliciafonseca3753]

Is it ok to just use normal spaghetti or do soba noodles give it a different flavor?

[@erikaa3488]

Those noodles tho 😂.... I follow KZbin videos on how to make something but I fail 80% of the time 😑😂

[@Michaelt81301]

Love you Nikki and keep it up !!!

[@shannoncunningham6747]

Hey Nikki, I just came across Carrot Cake Pancakes on FifteenSpatula's channel. I need to veganize these 'cause they look aweeeesome and thought you and Steve might like 'em for Tasty Tuesday 😊

[@whispechoes]

I made this (sans the cayenne pepper because people eating it are sensitive to it) and it was really good! People were going for seconds. I'll definitely make this again.

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

Nikki I hope you enjoy your vacation

[@jenny27555]

Nikki, can you remake this? It looks so good! 💜🖒🤗

[@Veganmadeyeezy]

That's happened to me with noodles getting stuck together. Idk how to prevent it? More salt? haha

[@RobinOrzo]

Put a little oil in the water, it'll help lubricate the noodles a little so they don't stick :)

[@squishiet]

Yes! Constant stirring while they are getting soggy and maybe sesame oil? Or whichever oil that suits the taste of your dish.

[@Veganmadeyeezy]

oh i didn't even think about that hahah thanks yall :)

[@CyberMachine]

Don't put oil in the water bc it prevents it from sucking up the sauce. It'll basically just coat the noodles instead. Soba noodles are supposed to be rinsed in water and they won't stick!

[@Veganmadeyeezy]

MsBellaFate does the oil affect all types of noodles or just soba noodles? good to know!

[@BkhammoYou]

That looks so delicious!

[@bal6644]

OMG you put me under so much stress. Firstly the video was late and I was getting very worried Then groaned down with puns, then slowly put surely the Drama was ratcheted up, until the final killer, brutal expose of the Fallen Noddles. You've exhausted me. (Ok I get the joke, Your names not Shirley)

[@matthewbishopburn3874]

Learned this from Hannah Hart, but you're actually supposed to salt the water AFTER it starts boiling. Life changing.

[@RandomGirlFromThe90s]

lol that huge noodle tho! 😂😂 when you finish boiling noodles drain them and put them in a bowl with cold water or cook them immediately so they won't stick together 😃😃😃! you the best tho 🤘

[@JeremyKing]

I like you. Even though you violated those noodles.

[@NikkiLimo]

*whew* thank you!

[@BrockWinkler]

Hey Nikki! Love your channel, you're awesome! KZbin forced me to make a channel just to comment on your video, but I did because I just wanted to tell you, it might be easier for you if, instead of trying to chop a carrot, you should just shred it! It'll be way quicker for you and more consistent! You're awesome!!

[@jacobhan9558]

For the carrots, just keep peeling them after you get the gross layer off so you get thin strips and then cut them into not so wide pieces, or keep them wide, you do you

[@Hellbound831]

I came for the beauty stuck for the food lol. You are liked Nikki. Do vegan pizza next.

[@snapsandshootsphotographyv3556]

Put a stick of butter or half after draining the noddles to prevent sticking Others have said wash with water but I'm not sure about that lol

[@Dinahroar]

your eye lashes look amazing!!

[@fionafifi7029]

"cause they're dumb" omg lmao

[@CanopysGlow]

Not sure if I'm a fan of soba noodles, because I've had other buckwheat food products and didn't like the flavor. However, I think I'll try this with thick rice noodles. I'm sure would be just as tasty as the original recipe. Thanks for another great vid! Also, never stop punning... never... ever... Ok, thanks, bye. #PunsAreTheBest

[@lostenthestory5379]

You were supposed to put oil. It prevents noodles from sticking together.

[@dimyssg5361]

Rinse under warm water! ( check out chef Simon Bryant on the sea Shepard and his noodle dish )

[@Ch_Noor72]

you wouldn't have to grate the ginger if you put it in the food processor Nikki, just a tip ;)

[@LouisianaBaby83]

Just came across this video and this girl has me dying 😂😂😂😂

[@bernicealtamirano12]

If you put olive oil in the water when the noodles are cooking it prevents them from sticking together .

[@pennyslone7680]

Looked very tasty! Maybe use the grator next time to get the carrot slivers :)

[@elizabeth-ev1hk]

i was eating these noodles while watching this video lmao

[@saraly4130]

after cooking the noodles you have to rinse them in cold water that will stop the cooking and won't make them stick together!!! :)

[@SALLYLYNN91]

A pasty brush is good for getting the ginger off those graters

[@shainRylie]

its quicker to bring youw water to a boil then salt it. the salt will raise the boiling temp. and make it take longer. google it if you want :)

[@daixxxy]

I've missed you nikki 😣 btw, have you thought about making mole? it's a mexican dish that apparently is a bit complicated. I always buy it already done, but try it out. MEXICAN MOLE

[@magalyarmenta6828]

she's made mole already

[@Beautyandthebeadz]

what recipe did you use for banana nice cream sandwiches??

[@reva2753]

You make vegan cooking damn hilarious. Gluten free (if you used the tamari) & vegan, imma make this for dins tomorrow!

[@peggymurray5164]

Nikki, When pasta comes together like that it's SO annoying I know. My experience to keeping pasta from doing that is add a tablespoon of olive oil to the water. & I'm not sure but maybe a garlic press would have worked on that ginger. I SO enjoy your vids your hilarious!

[@Sacha_C]

what model blender is that?

[@TheLittlestMonster1]

Do you think I could use apple cider vinegar?? The rice vinegar is the only ingredient I don't have and I'm too lazy to go to the shops.

[@krr74]

I.have and it works

[@sashaitkis4224]

if you want to slice carrots thinly use a potato peeler, it will make pleasant strips

[@consolemaster]

I should've mentioned that once you put the noodles in, you do need to stir it so it won't stick together. When it soften, drain it and you are done.
