Japanese Recipe ⇉ Soba Noodle Veggie Bowl

Also known as 'yasai yakisoba,' this is a healthy and quick dish with stir-fried noodles, vegetables, and a savory sauce. The recipe can be easily doubled, but this is really best for one person.

Ingredients

• 3 ounces dried soba noodles
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ green bell pepper, chopped
• ¼ onion, sliced
• ½ cup fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 cup baby spinach leaves

Cooking Directions

1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Drop in soba noodles and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 7 minutes. Drain.
2. Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, and mirin in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, onion, and green beans and saute until softened but still crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Add soba noodles and toss with the cooked vegetables. Mix in soy sauce mixture and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Add baby spinach and cook until desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve in a bowl.
