We liked this but agree that the shrimp are wasted. I'd put in tofu next time for the protein hit without changing the flavor. This was better the day it was made (I served it slightly warm) than as leftovers. I'm planning to make this again, for an upcoming potluck at work.
Soba and Slaw Salad with Peanut Dressing
Lee Harrelson
Total time: 40 minutes. Look for soba noodles, rice vinegar, chile paste, and soy sauce in the specialty-foods aisle of your supermarket or in Asian markets. Use packaged slaw mix in place of the red cabbage and carrot if you're in a hurry. Try this recipe with coarsely chopped rotisserie chicken instead of shrimp.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 1/2 cups salad, 1 tablespoon onions, and 1 1/2 teaspoons peanuts)
