This is a yummy mix of grains I discovered on my quest to get away from processed foods. These grains all have different cooking times, but soaking them overnight fixes that problem. They will all steam up in about 20 minutes, the same as white rice. They cook at a 1part grains to 2 parts liquid ratio. I get all these whole grains from the bulk food section of the heath food store and mix them up in a big container for storage, then cook up portions as needed.

Warning: must love garlic.

This dish serves 1, but can easily be modified to serve more.

Some Soba noodles are gluten-free (check package). They are made from buckwheat and metabolize much more slowly than most carbohydrates, which makes them ideal for diabetics and health-conscious individuals. You can pick them up at your local japanese market or health food store.

If you don't have any chicken leftovers on hand, Marinate chicken breast tenderloins or sliced breasts in some sesame oil, chopped up garlic, sake or rice vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper for 4-24 hours. Cook in nonstick skillet.. adding a bit of soy sauce and sake/wine halfway through the cooking.

This sauce can be used on any noodles with just about any vegetables you like. Enjoy :)
