Preparation

Step 1

In a blender, combine the first eight ingredients and 1/4 cup hot water; puree until smooth.
Heat a wok or large skillet on medium high. When it's hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat the pan. Then add the shrimp and cook until they just turn pink, about 2 minutes. Transfer them to a plate.
Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok and swirl.
Return the shrimp to the pan along with the peanut sauce and cooked soba. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
Top with peanuts and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
