Veggie & Soba Noodle
Enjoy Asian-influenced food, but live in the boonies? Meeee tooooo. Enter, veggie and soba noodle stir fry.
Since we live outside ALL the food delivery zones we had to figure out how to make it ourselves. The next time you are at the grocery store, pick up some hoisin sauce, Asian-style noodles and chilli-garlic sauce and you’ll be all set the next time you are in the mood for Chinese. Hoisin, chilli-garlic sauce and noodles keep for a very long time. You’ll be ready to whip up your own Chow Mein inspired dinner on a moments notice!

Veggie and Soba Noodle : Recipe Notes
Tofu: Skip it if you don’t have any on hand. The edamame, soba noodle and veggies contain plenty of protein.
Noodles: Ramen, regular spaghetti noodles or asian noodles would work.
Veggies: Peas are a great substitute for edamame. Feel free to trade in other seasonal vegetables – red pepper, mini corn and snap peas are wonderful substitutions.
