Soba Noodles with Peanut Sauce

I have been craving soba noodles with peanut sauce for a while now, ever since I went to the new, local health food store in my neighbourhood and bought the fresh peanut butter in the "peanut crusher" machine. I also bought organic cabbage that day. I don't why, I didn't have anything in mind to make with it but then I thought I'd make soba noodle/slaw salad with peanut sauce.

Soba noodles are usually made with buckwheat flour but I used a kamut and buckwheat combo.

Boy, was this ever good!! I couldn't stop eating it. Thank goodness it makes quite a bit because I had it for lunch the rest of the week. This dish would great for a picnic.
