Ingredients
Sauce:4 cloves of garlic1 tsp sesame oil1 tsp vegetable/olive oil1 tbsp mirin, sake, or rice wine vinegar1 tbsp sugar1 tbsp dark soy sauce (tamari)salt and pepper to tasteOther Ingredients:1 tube of Soba Noodles (buckwheat noodles, about 2 oz)1/4 cup shredded red cabbage1/4 cup shredded carrots1/4 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper1/4 cup chopped red onion1 green onion, chopped 1/2 cooked chicken breast (leftovers are fine!) sliced1/2 tbsp sesame seeds to sprinkle
Directions
1. Cook soba noodles according to package (make sure the water is boiling before you add them!). Strain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
2. Heat the oils in a sauce pan.
3. Put the garlic in and cook until dark yellow, not brown (use medium-low heat if you're afraid you'll burn it).
4. Add sugar, stir.
5. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients (sake, soy sauces, salt and pepper if desired), stir until combined.
6. Leave on medium heat to thicken a bit, about 3 min (bubbling is normal).
7. Add cooked chicken, onion, cabbage, peppers, and carrots (I add the carrots and peppers much later than the others, because I like them crunchy!). Coat all ingredients in sauce, and cook until the chicken is warm and the veggies are cooked to your liking.
8. Pour veggie mixture and sauce over soba noodles and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Enjoy!

    This was delicious! I used whole wheat noodles and mixed them in the veggies and sauce at the end. Came out like lo mein at the restaurant. Yummy! - 8/30/10

    Incredible.

    The garlic isn't hard and bitter, but very soft and adds great flavour to this dish. Big portion and lots of flavour! - 8/29/10

    This sounds amazing but way high in calories. Any suggestion on how to lower the calories or could I add something to make enough for 2 servings without add a lot of calories. Also what could I do to lower te sodium? - 5/8/21

    Delicious and cleaned out my fridge. It worked well with regular cabbage too. Just have to be careful you don't overcook the soba noodles like I did. Kinda gloppy, but that's on me. - 7/23/20

    Served soba noodles on the side so everyone could take what they wanted. Also let everyone add their own soy sauce as I have to watch my salt intake. Delicious. - 4/13/20
