Add your scallion whites, garlic, ginger, and Thai chillis (or red pepper flakes). Cook 1-2 minutes until soft.

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.

We ate tons of soba noodles on our trip to Japan, but never like this! This is asian fusion at it’s finest.
