Description
A delicious soba noodle stir fry with vegetables and a savory sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8–9 oz. soba noodles
- 1 tablespoon high heat oil (such as peanut oil, coconut oil or avocado oil)
- 2 cups napa cabbage, shredded
- 5–6 shiitake mushrooms, sliced thin
- 1 large carrot, cut in thin strips
- 4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 1-inch knob of ginger, minced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced in thin strips
- 1/2 bunch green onions, chopped fine (separating the white from the green stems)
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
- black sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce, Braggs Liquid Aminos, or Smoked Shoyu
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil and cook the soba noodles according to the package directions (just slightly on the al dente side). Drain in cool water to remove starchiness.
- Stir together the Soba Noodle Sauce ingredients: sesame oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and soy sauce.
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in a wok or skillet. Add napa cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, carrot strips, and a sprinkle of salt. Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and ginger for 1-2 minutes. Add bell pepper and the white part of the green onion, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
- Add the soba noodles and sauce. Toss together for 1-2 minutes, letting it thoroughly heat through.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Add black sesame seeds for garnish if desired.
Notes
- Drain the soba noodles thoroughly to prevent them from becoming gummy and gluey.
- Adjust cooking time for vegetables based on your texture preference.
- Experiment with the vegetables based on what you have available.
