This is pretty much the yakisoba recipe, but with extra veg and (horror of horrors!) sweet chilli sauce. So it’s lazy and its soba noodles and it’s delicious. So delicious in fact, it’s on my menu again this week! You’ll hear no complaints from us.
I’ve absolutely loved visiting everyone’s blogs and seeing your Meatless Monday contributions – it’s by far the funnest part of this link idea! Thank you one and all for linking up and providing so much inspiration to others. There are so many ideas that there has to be something for everyone. No excuses!
Serves 4
Ingredients:
Soba noodles
2 carrots, julienned
3 cups various chopped veggies
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 green onions/scallions
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sweet chilli sauce
1 tbs sambal oelek or chili paste
toasted sesame seeds
Directions:
1. Saute the carrots, veg, garlic and light-green part of green onion/scallion over medium heat 5 minutes or until soft and beginning to brown.
2. Meanwhile, cook soba noodles in boiling water 2 minutes, then drain and refresh.
3. Add noodles to veggies, turn heat down and add soy sauce, sweet chili, and sambal oelek.
4. Turn up to re-heat without boiling sauce too much. Serve sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds.

July 22, 2012 at 9:00 pmI use sweet chilli sauce when I'm lazy and desperate too – but I always squeeze in half a lime to balance out the super sweetness. Sesame seeds are a must with soba noodles too, so good!

July 23, 2012 at 10:29 amSoba noodles are great and make such a quick healthy meal with vegetables. I like using sweet chilli sauce when I am short on time. I love the combination of fresh garlic, ginger and sweet chilli sauce. mmmmm
