Summer soba noodle stir-fry is a vibrant, light, and aromatic dish from Japanese cuisine, perfect for warm days. Soba noodles made from buckwheat flour have a nutty flavor and pair wonderfully with crunchy vegetables: carrots, bell peppers, green peas, and shiitake mushrooms. Sesame oil adds a delicate nutty aroma to the dish while soy sauce enriches it with a rich umami taste. Cilantro and green onions add freshness and a hint of spiciness. This stir-fry is not only delicious but also healthy – rich in vitamins and antioxidants, easily digestible, and can be served as a standalone dish or as a side to fish or tofu. An ideal option for a quick and healthy dinner that offers a sense of lightness and Eastern sophistication.
