Broccoli and Soba Noodles

"Soba noodles are popular in japan and have a unique nutty flavor that compliment the broccoli in this dish very well. I first tried soba noodles when my roomate made them for dinner and fell in love with them. I hope you will too."

  1. This was so delicious, and we just love soba noodles! Instead of just broccoli, I added broccoli, carrots (julienned), sugar snap peas (halved), celery (thinly sliced on bias), white onion (thinly sliced), skinny green beans (halved), and red bell pepper (thinly sliced). I also steamed the veggies until crisp tender before frying, so everything would be the same consistency). Yummy! As some have commented, I wished I had doubled the sauce recipe as we too like it a bit saucier, and will do so the next time around. I will probably also add toasted sesame seeds, and maybe chopped green onions on top, but this recipe worked perfectly untouched! The proportions of the ingredients for the sauce were perfect in our opinion. Thanks for a delicious recipe that I will definitely make again!
     
  2. Very tasty! I added mushrooms, a little drizzle of chili oil, a little grated ginger and a TB of smooth peanut butter. My soba noodles only took 3 minutes to cook - I guess they were a lot thinner than yours. Will do it again.
     
  3. Four words: I. Licked. My. Bowl.<br/>I could eat this on a daily basis.
     
  4. This is absolutely delish!! I have made this a bunch of times now and find it gets better each time. I added shrimp to it one evening to take to a friends home. Of course they loved it also. Thanks for sharing.
     
  5. My whole family enjoyed this. I doubled the sauce and add other veggies like chef mom 007 suggested.

  1. Unlike other reviewers, I had plenty of sauce (personal preference I s'pose!). I subbed broccoli for cauliflower, and added a generous portion of peas. Lovely taste, cooks up quick, and a friendly introduction to soba noodles. Thanks!
