Scrape down the sides and add 5 tablespoons of water to thin the sauce, then mix until smooth.

Prepare the vegetables: peel and cut carrots into matchstick sizes, and do the same with daikon and scallions, discarding tough ends of scallions.

Toast 4 teaspoons of sesame seeds in a 350-degree oven for about 4 minutes until nutty.

In a large bowl, add the soba noodles and 3/4 cup of peanut sauce, mixing to coat the noodles evenly.
