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 sounds delicious. I can't wait to make it. I think there is an error on the chicken though. The recipe is calculated on 3 servings (or 12 ounces) of chicken, but the recipe says 3 pounds. In any case, I will be trying it using the 12 ounces. I love Lemon Chicken ! Maybe low-sodium soy sauce. - 1/19/09
