Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually about 4-5 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

While the noodles are cooking, prepare the peanut sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), and sriracha. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Once the noodles are cooked, drain them in a strainer and rinse under cold water to cool them down and stop the cooking process. Drain well.

In a large bowl, mix the cooled soba noodles with the spicy peanut sauce, ensuring everything is well coated.

Serve the noodles on individual plates or in a large serving bowl. Garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro (if using), and sesame seeds for a finishing touch.

Feel free to add vegetables such as cucumbers, shredded carrots, or bell peppers for added color and crunch.

This dish can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for later.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
