If you’re anything like me, life is busy. You’re always on the go and it’s hard to find time to eat a proper dinner between work, errands, keeping the house clean, trying to find time to exercise, and playing chauffeur to your kids.
Stir fries are a great choice for a quick and easy dinner. They offer a lot of flavor with little effort. Most times, they taste great at room temperature or cold too, so you could even pack them up to go. Quick cooking noodles, a few veggies, and a delicious sauce that comes together in just seconds – put this Soba Noodle Stir Fry on your menu this week!
This stir fry dish is a quick and easy weeknight meal. Soba noodles cook in about 3 minutes, which is about as long as you’ll want to cook the veggies. You want your veggies to still have a little crunch without being completely raw.
The longest part of the process will be chopping the veggies, but you can do that in the time it takes for the water to boil (or probably less).
You can swap out the veggies for your favorites. Carrots and broccoli would be great, or water chestnuts. Though I think fresh veggies are always best in a dish like this, you could use frozen if that’s all you have. In a pinch, it will do!
If you want to skip the noodles altogether, try this easy Cabbage Stir Fry.
If you have more time, baked tofu would be great in this dish as well.

Soba noodles are a great gluten free option. They are made from buckwheat, which despite its name, isn’t wheat at all. I talk more about buckwheat in my post for Gluten Free Buckwheat Pancakes. Be sure to check labels on the soba noodles, though, as some brands do add wheat.

We love stirfry in our house and soba noodles too. The other night though I used a new brand of noodles and they practically turned to glue. Do you have a preferred brand of soba noodles that you like?
Jenn S.
Oh no! I’m not even sure what brand I buy – haha! I just try to look for the 100% buckwheat noodles as some have what in them too. I think they key is getting them out of the water when they are very al dente because just the residual heat will continue to cook them. Also I find they work better if you take them out of the water with tongs or a slotted pasta scooper thing and put them directly into the sauce. If you drain them in a colander, they do tend to clump together. Hopefully, you’ll have better luck with a different brand!

I eat leftover dinner for breakfast all the time! Who was it that decided pastries and refined carbs were the way to start your day? I say go for it, Mary Ellen! 🙂
