Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 (8 ounce) package soba (Japanese buckwheat noodles)

  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

  • 4 boneless chicken thighs, cut into chunks

  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced

  • 8 crimini mushrooms, quartered

  • 8 baby carrots, cut in quarters lengthwise

  • 4 cups fresh baby spinach

Directions

  1. Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add soba noodles; cook, stirring occasionally until tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain. Set aside.

  2. Heat vegetable oil and sesame oil together in a 10-inch skillet or wok over medium heat until shimmering, 2 to 3 minutes. Place chicken in skillet and cook until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant and softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in mushrooms and carrots and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in spinach; cover, and cook until spinach wilts, 3 to 4 minutes.

  3. Add cooked soba noodles to vegetable mixture and toss to combine. Serve hot.

Cook's Note:

Many different vegetables could be used. It could also be a vegetarian dish if you replace tofu for the chicken. It also easily doubles for more.
