Soba Noodles, Chicken, and Veggies with Caramelized Garlic Sauce

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 :)Submitted by: VALKYRIA-

This was wonderful, my husband and I both really enjoyed it. We used sesame oil and 1/2tsp of red pepper flakes but will probably use 1/4t next time. We also sprinkled some toasted sesame seeds on top. Yummy! - 3/3/09

This was very good. My husband and 2 year old twin boys really liked the flavor. I served it with brown rice and broccoli. I know this will effect the nutrition count, but I am going to try it next time with some Sherry and low sodium chicken broth. Yummy! - 2/27/09

This recipe was fantastic! Tasted SO close to real G. Tso! I'm so glad I don't have to give up my favorite Chinese food dish, because of this recipe. My husband and I both said WOW at the first bite. - 5/14/09

This recipe was great! I added some dried chili peppers to the hot oil (I like heat) I will probably use just a little less sugar next time and add more pepper flakes. Thank you for a great recipe! - 3/10/09

This one is one of my favorite meals and so glad that there's a version to limit the excess. It taste real close to the real thing, I mean, close enough without he heaviness that comes with the restaurant versions. I added green vegetables such as chopped broccoli and spinach. - 10/2/18
