¾ cup of each red, orange or yellow capsicums
Dressing
&
#8531 ; cup unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons tahini
1 lime - juice
1 tablespoon sriracha hot chili sauce

Method
Cook soba noodles according to package directions. When noodles are cooked, run under cool water until cold.
While noodles are cooking, whisk together the dressing ingredients in a bowl, set aside for the flavours to develop.
Cut or shred the capsicum, cucumber and carrots until they are roughly the same size. Snip the shallots into little rounds.
Arange the noodles in a bowl and top with the vegetables.
Top with the dressing, more sriracha as needed and garnish with seeds.
Enjoy immediately.
Notes
Vegetables can be stir fried or lightly steamed and the noodles warm if you prefer.
Sirarcha is a fantastically spicy chilli sauce - chilli flakes or other brands can be subbed.
