  2. I actually like this better with the noodles still slightly warm.

    8 ounce package soba noodles, cooked and rinsed with cold water
    1 large cucumber
    1 tablespoon light olive oil
    2 teaspoons sesame oil
    1 tablespoon rice vinegar
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

    Cut cucumber into 2" by 1/4 in strips (or close to that). Put everything in bowl with noodles and toss to combine. Top with Cilantro Sauce and scallions.

    Cilantro sauce:
    3/4 cup cilantro leaves
    2 tablespoons nut butter
    1 tablespoon lemon juice or rice vinegar pinch of salt
    1/4 cup water
    Put everything in food processor and process until fairly smooth.
