Cold Soba Noodle Bowl with Cucumber, Carrot, and Peanut Sauce

Another no-oven situation, and honestly this one might be my personal favorite on a truly hot night. Soba noodles cook in seven minutes, then you rinse them cold and toss everything together. The peanut sauce comes together while the noodles are still boiling.
