You can make the peanut sauce anytime and reheat just before serving. It may thicken up a little so you might have to add additional water to it.
The soba noodles should be made just before eating. Or you can make them in advance and add a little oil to them to prevent them from sticking together.

There are lots of variations for this recipe. The first time I made it, I took a fresh carrot and just cut it up into small dice.
The last time I made it, I cooked the couscous in vegetable broth to add a little flavor, then I nestled the grain salad onto a bed of baby spinach leaves, added a few coins of cucumber, extra peas (because I love peas) and microwaved wax beans and then added them, as well as some orange pepper dice.
It’s just a lovely canvas to add veggies to.
