Instructions

Salad:

  1. Cut the zucchini with a spiralizer into „zoodles“

  4. Cut the carrots and the cabbage in small stripes or discs
  5. Finely grate the cabbage

Dressing:

  1. Finely grate the ginger
  2. Mix all ingredients until the dressing is smooth
  3. Spread over the salad

Notes

Tip from my kitchen: cook the soba noodles only briefly, until tender but firm, as they turn mushy fast. Be sure to rinse them under cold water so the starch washes off and the salad stays light and loose. Want the dressing creamier? Stir in a little more coconut milk, a spoonful at a time. To make it ahead, keep the salad and the peanut dressing separate and only toss them together right before serving.
