Soy Ginger Noodles Recipe
Description
Soba noodles are cooked briefly to retain firmness, then cooled to stop cooking, which helps maintain their slightly chewy texture. The stir-fry includes thinly sliced onion, carrot, and two colors of bell pepper, cooked quickly to keep their crunch and bright flavor.
The sauce balances sweet, savory, and tangy elements using hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, mirin, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic, creating a complex glaze that coats the noodles and vegetables evenly. Sriracha can be added to taste for heat.
The dish is garnished with chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, and sesame seeds, adding freshness, mild onion flavor, and nuttiness. This versatile noodle dish works well as a vegetarian main course or a side and can be customized by adding proteins or other preferred vegetables.
Notes suggest adding tofu, prawns, chicken, or a soft-boiled egg, as well as toasted nuts for extra texture and flavor, providing flexibility for different tastes and dietary needs.
Ingredients
- 10 ounces soba noodles gluten-free if needed
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 medium onion thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot thinly sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper thinly sliced
- ½ cup cilantro chopped
- ¼ cup green onion sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
The Sauce
- ½ cup hoisin sauce gluten-free if needed
- ¼ cup soy sauce gluten-free if needed
- 3 tablespoons ginger minced
- 3 tablespoons mirin
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- sriracha to taste
Instructions
- Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook for half the recommended cooking time (usually 2 minutes) then drain and rinse well under cold water. You will want them to be firm and a little undercooked as they will cook more in the frying pan.
- Stir the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, and peppers and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
- Add the partially cooked soba noodles and the sauce to the frying pan with the peppers and toss to coat. Toss gently until the noodles have been reheated and are fully cooked, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cilantro, green onions, and sesame seeds.
Notes
- You can personalize this dish by adding your favorite vegetables or proteins like tofu, shrimp, chicken, or a soft-boiled egg.
- Toasted nuts make a tasty topping to add crunch and richer flavor.
