Buckwheat Noodles with Peanut Butter Dressing

20231117, #breakfastdiary 895, -1°C/mostly clear, 21min/workout(Y) Peanut butter contains protein, monounsaturated fat, vitamin E, niacin, and magnesium, but it's also high in calories, so Dr. Kang Jae-heon, a family medicine professor at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital, says you should keep it under 2 spoonfuls a day. The doctor's recommended daily amount is 2t (spoons), but I'd already packed in a heaping 2T. Now, on top of my plans for this morning, I have one more reason to go hike Bugaksan. 🧗 Mix 2T peanut butter, 1/2t minced garlic, 2T soy sauce, 2T vinegar, and 1T sesame oil to make the dressing. Add 1T plum syrup or yuja syrup if you like. Chop the scallions. Boil the buckwheat noodles, pouring in cold water a few times to cool the pot as you go. Plate the noodles, top with the peanut butter dressing and scallions, and mix well before eating.
