Sweet Peanut Soba Noodle Sauce

From the lunchboxbunch...

Ingredients

6oz soba noodles (100% buckwheat preferred)
sauce:
1/2 cup roasted peanuts (unsalted)
1/2 cup almond milk, plain
1 clove garlic
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp maple syrup, grade B
a few pinches of cayenne for heat
optional: 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger or 1/2 tsp ginger powder
salt and pepper to taste
optional: for more perkiness, add in a teaspoon of ice vinegar or seasoned rice vinegar (seasoned will be a bit sweeter)
2 cups fresh leafy greens (like spinach or chopped kale)
2 tsp chopped peanuts for garnish

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles, reduce heat to medium, and cook until tender, usually about 5-8 minutes.
While the noodles are cooking, add all your ingredients to a blender like a Vitamix. Blend until creamy smooth. Tip: Use a narrower-style container to really whip some fluffy air into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper and cayenne to taste.
Drain the pasta and rinse in cold water.
Place pasta and sauce in a large bowl and toss well. For lighter-sauced noodles, start out by only adding half the sauce and add more to taste or over top to serve.
Serve over a bed of fresh greens, and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts on top.
