Soba Noodles With Smoked Duck

3/4 pound soba noodles
7 tablespoons peanut oil
5 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
Dash of hot sauce
1/2 pound smoked duck or chicken, cut into thick matchsticks
1/3 cup chopped chives
2 scallions, white and light green parts only, sliced




Cook the noodles per directions on the package. In a large bowl, whisk the soy sauce together with the rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic and hot sauce. Slowly whisk in the remaining 6 tablespoons of peanut oil. Add the noodles to the dressing, and toss to coat. Add the duck and chives, garnish with the scallions and serve at room temperature.
Notes: The flavors of this dish are wonderful! The only thing it was missing was a veggie. We decided that snow pea pods or broccoli would have added that nice crunch.
