Notes
*Soba noodles - You can swap it with other kinds of dried noodles like ramen, udon or rice noodles. Spaghetti will work too!
**Teriyaki sauce - For a quicker version, feel free to use store-bought teriyaki sauce. But if you have some time on hand, I highly recommend giving my homemade vegan teriyaki sauce a try! It tastes so much better and is healthier than store-bought ones.
Gluten-free - Make sure to use soba that is made from 100 percent buckwheat. Some brands use a blend of buckwheat and wheat flour, hence do check the ingredient label before purchasing.
Oil-free - You can use ¼ cup of water or broth to saute in place of oil. Highly recommended to use a good non-stick pan or wok.
Helpful tips
- Slightly undercook your noodles - This will prevent them from turning mushy and sticky when stir-frying. For me, I will cook them a minute or two less than the suggested cooking time on the package.
- Rinse noodles under cold water after cooking - This especially holds true for soba, as it tends to clump together more easily. Rinsing will remove excess starch that causes noodles to stick together, and also stop them from cooking further.
- Use a large enough pan - This will help prevent ingredients from leaping out from pan during cooking.
- Storing - Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days.
