Spicy Soba Noodles w/ Peanut Sauce and Broccoli

This recipe was inspired by my favorite thing to get at Noodles & Company: spicy Indonesian peanut saute. I made it healthier, but still really yummy. It took me several attempts to perfect it, but it was worth it. This recipe makes 1 serving, but you can easily expand it to however much you need.
Here's how to make this super tasty and quick dish:
* 1 cup or so cooked soba buckwheat noodles
* 1/2 cup or so of lightly steamed broccoli
for the sauce:
* 1-2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
* 1 1/2 teaspoons natural peanut butter
* 1/2 clove garlic, minced
* 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
* 3/4 teaspoon liquid aminos or light soy sauce (or to taste)
* cayenne pepper, to taste
* 1/4 cup cold water
* 1/4 teaspoon corn starch or arrowroot (optional if you like more of a liquidy sauce)
Wisk all the sauce ingredients togther in a small bowl. Add to a small sauce pan and heat over medium and stir until the sauce begins to thicken (if you use the thickener). Turn the heat down to low and add in the noodles and broccoli. Heat through, then serve immediately. Enjoy! The sauce is also good over just plain broccoli, other veggies, or rice.
