Hearty Asian Noodle Stir Fry

3/6/2015

I have always loved soba noodles which are Japanese buckwheat noodles.  They contain all the essential amino acids, antioxidants, and essential nutrients including thiamin and riboflavin.  Combine with lean meat and fresh vegetables for a hearty and healthy meal.  

Ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil and rice vinegar with a hint of coconut sugar come together to create a delicious flavor combination in these fresh noodle bowls.

Hearty Asian noodle stir fry
Serves 6-8
Ingredients: 

1 pkg. soba noodles or other Asian noodles
2 large carrots shredded*
1 lb. lean ground beef or venison
1 onion, diced
1 Tbsp. (or more to taste) sesame oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. ground ginger or about an inch fresh ginger, minced fine
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
2 tsp. coconut sugar or brown sugar
1/4 head cabbage, finely sliced
handful of shiitake or other mushrooms, optional
salt and freshly ground pepper
sliced green onions (garnish)


Instructions:

1.  Cook the soba noodles according to package directions.  Toss noodles with a little oil to keep them from sticking and set aside. 

2.  In a large pot or wok brown ground meat, onion, and sesame oil.

3.  Mix the garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar together then add to the skillet.

4.  Next, add the cabbage and mushrooms and cook until the cabbage is tender, stirring occasionally. 

5.  Then add the carrots and cook for 2-3 more minutes.  Add the noodles and toss to warm them.  

6.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Garnish with green onions.  
 
Add any additional flavors or ingredients you like.  For a little kick you can add 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes .  

*If you have a food processor, it will make shredding the carrots super easy.

Yum

This looks so delicious! I'm going to try these noodles. I've never heard of them until I read your post. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the encouraging comment. Look for soba noodles in the international section of your grocery store or an Asian market if you are lucky enough to live near one.

It's easiest for me as a beginning cook when ingredients are listed with specific quantities. So, when you say "one package soba noodles," what's the dry weight of your noodle package? I've seen 12-oz. packages, and 16-oz. packages in the store. While it may not make a huge difference in the overall recipe, I'd prefer to make a winning meal my first time, not my second...! Weights for pre-processed carrots and onions would be helpful, too!

I am so glad you asked. I can't remember if the Soba noodles I use in this are 12 oz. or 16 oz. If I have time tomorrow, I will stop at the International market and pick some up so I can edit this post with the weight I use. I think the recipe will work fine with either size, but I will check, nonetheless. I never buy pre-processed onions or carrots, but I found a great chart http://www.choosingvoluntarysimplicity.com/equivalent-measurements-vegetables/ with equivalency measurements for lots of vegetables. You may find this helpful. I thought it was quite handy and bookmarked it. It said 2 carrots shredded is equal to 1 cup shredded carrots. I onion diced is equal to 1 cup diced onion.

Best wishes in your culinary adventures!
