Equipment

  • Pot
  • Colander
  • Wok or large skillet
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • vegetable peeler
  • Tongs or spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 180 g buckwheat (soba) noodles 6 oz
  • 200 g chicken breast 7–8 oz, cut into thin slices
  • 1 yellow bell pepper julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper julienned
  • 1 chili pepper sliced (optional heat)
  • 1 red onion julienned
  • 1 carrot peeled into ribbons
  • 3 pieces baby corn
  • 2 oz frozen green beans
  • 6 tsp soy sauce
  • 3 tsp sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the soba noodles and cook according to package directions, about 3 minutes, until just tender.
  • Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking; set aside.
  • While the noodles cook, slice the chicken breast into thin strips.
  • Julienne the yellow and red bell peppers and the red onion. Slice the chili pepper. Peel the carrot into ribbons with a vegetable peeler. Drain or slice the baby corn if needed and thaw the frozen green beans.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the sesame oil and swirl to coat.
  • Add the chicken strips and stir-fry until they begin to brown and are nearly cooked through, about 3–4 minutes.
  • Add the prepared vegetables (bell peppers, onion, carrot ribbons, baby corn, green beans, and chili) and stir-fry over high heat until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Add the cooked noodles and soy sauce to the wok. Toss everything together and stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes until heated through and evenly coated.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately.
  • To make a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and proceed using the same method with additional vegetables or tofu.

Notes

  • Cook noodles only until just tender to avoid sogginess.
  • Slice ingredients uniformly for even cooking.
  • Use high heat and quick stirring to keep vegetables crisp.
  • Adjust chili amount to control spiciness.
