What are Soba noodles?
Soba noodles are Japanese versions of buckwheat noodles. They are sometimes even combinations of buckwheat and wheat flours. These are frequently used in many Japanese recipes, either as cooked hot yakisoba noodles or as cold soba noodles. Additionally, they are gluten-free, making them safe for our diabetic friends to eat. However, because they cook quickly and are relatively thin, soba noodles are the ideal noodles for this recipe. Furthermore, because of its thinness, it can take on the flavor of the delicious vegetables and sauce we’re mixing with it, which is a win for us.

One of my favorite companies, Nasoya has these amazing Japanese udon noodles, so I knew I had to make Japanese pan noodles at home. You can find these amazing noodles right by the Nasoya tofu (usually on the above shelf, I’ve found) and cook up in minutes, so they’re great when you need a super quick, easy, vegetarian dinner recipe.
I like making crispy tofu as a protein with this dish. To make crispy tofu, all you do is toss extra firm tofu in a little corn starch, and then sear it in a pan in a little bit of oil and a little bit of the sauce you’ve made for the noodles.
These Japanese pan noodles are prepared in under 20 minutes, so dinner is ready and on the table in no time, just like my 5-ingredient vegetarian sushi bowls and 1-pan dumpling stir fry recipes!
To prepare this dish, I used a wok pan, but any pan will do.
