Simple Soba Noodle Stir Fry

This recipe is packed with freshness and flavor all combined together in one dish! You may be wondering what are Soba Noodles and what makes Soba Noodles different compared to regular noodles? Well, they are made from buckwheat flour which is LOADED with protein, so they have this wonderful nutty and earthy bite to them when cooked which is why I love them in both my Soba and Sweet Potato Noodle Bowls and this recipe.

Why we love this recipe

This recipe is not your average stir fry. Just like my Sesame Orange Tofu Stir Fry this recipe is fun and different and yet easy to throw together. Freshness from vegetables that are packed into the recipe. Similar to my Sichuan Tofu Bok Choy Stir Fry, this dish takes less than 30 minutes to make which is always a win!

Recipe Ingredients

Fresh veggies that are not only full of color, but also add a crunch to the dish. Soba Noodles that are packed with protein since they are Buckwheat noodles. Sriracha that adds a little kick to the sauce but doesn’t overpower it.

How to make Soba Noodle Stir Fry

Step #1: Prepare the sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, mushroom broth, rice vinegar, sriracha, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Set aside. Step #2: Cook the noodles al dente according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside. Step #3: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the mushrooms in a single layer and brown for 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside. Step #4: Add the broccoli to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Add the bell peppers, shelled edamame, and green onions. Stir fry for another 1-2 minutes, until bell peppers have softened. Step #5: Add the garlic, sauce, mushrooms and cooked soba noodles to the pan. Use tongs to toss the noodles and coat the vegetables in sauce. Allow the sauce to bubble up and thicken for 60 seconds. Step #6: Turn off the heat, garnish with sesame seeds, and serve hot.

Storage and Reheating:

You can store this recipe in an airtight container in your fridge for 2-3 days. The texture and makeup for Soba noodles is not ideal for freezing so I would not recommend freezing this dish. To reheat this dish you can do so in a skillet with oil over medium heat or in your microwave until everything has warmed through.
