Kosher salt

8 ounces dried buckwheat soba noodles

Dressing:

1/3 cup creamy almond butter

1/4 cup soy sauce

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 1/2 tablespoons honey

2 teaspoons wasabi paste

One 1 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped 

One 1 1/2-pound head napa cabbage, cored and shredded

3 green onions, thinly sliced

1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and thinly sliced

I didn't love this as much as I had hoped.  Neither did my family... I made a batch and we only ate it on the first night, then didn't get eaten. :(
