We ate tons of soba noodles on our trip to Japan, but never like this! This is asian fusion at it's finest, bringing together my favorite summer veggies and asian flavors.
A Step-by-Step Recipe
Bring water to boil to cook your noodles per the package. In the meantime, heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add your scallion whites, garlic, ginger, and Thai chillis (or red pepper flakes). Cook 1-2 minutes until soft.
Add your bell peppers and tomatoes. Cook 3-4 minutes. You do not want the veggies too soft. Toss in your shelled edamame.
Turn the heat to medium-high. Add your soy sauce, sake, and honey to the sauté pan. Toss to coat. Cook 30 seconds to 1 minute until the alcohol cooks out, but you don't want to reduce the sauce too much.
Turn the heat back down to medium. Add your soba noodles to the sauté pan.
Adding the noodles a little at a time, mix them into the sauce.
Add your basil. Toss well to coat.
The basil wilts into the hot soba noodle stir fry. Just give it a little time and mix it well.
Can't find soba noodles at the grocery store?
Soba noodles are in the ethnic foods isle at the grocery store. If your grocery store does not carry them, you can get them here on Amazon.
And you can get my favorite soup/cereal bowls here.
