My chilled cilantro jalapeno soba is super easy to make and the best way to pack in a little heat AND cool off at the same time. Yum!

I absolutely loved the smoky-sweetness that the gochujang gave the chili - works really well with a couple extra dashes of liquid smoke! Probably my new favourite - cannot wait to make this again!
