EAST MEETS WEST VEGETABLE SOBA STIR-FRY

East Meets West Vegetable Soba Stir-Fry image

I came with this one afternoon whilst in the mood for a stir-fry & the taste of soy. I used butter instead of oil to give it a creamier, almost cheesy taste that still allows it to maintain its Eastern background, but with an Italian perk. It can easily be doubled & you can add tofu for more protein & bell peppers for more of a zip.

Ingredients

4 ounces buckwheat soba noodles
2 cups broccoli, florrets (fresh or frozen)
2 cups yellow squash, quartered
6 green onions, stalks finely chopped (with bulbs)
2 medium garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons teriyaki soy sauce (regular soy sauce is fine)

2 tablespoons vegan butter
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
black pepper
salt

Steps:

Wash & chop all the vegetables, place the onions & garlic in a medium sauce pan & saute on medium-high heat with 12 tablespoon of the butter for one minute until slightly tender. Pour in 12 cup of the soymilk & one tablespoon of the soy sauce & stir until it bubbles.
Then add all of the vegetables & the rest of the soymilk & simmer still on medium-high heat until once again it bubbles.
Add the paprika, cayenne (if using) & black pepper & the other tablespoon of soy sauce & butter & reduce to medium heat & simmer for ten minutes, stirring frequently.
Meanwhile, salt & put the water on to boil & cook the soba until tender (typically four to five minutes) & drain.
Serve the stir-fry sauce over the noodles & top with salt & pepper.
Enjoy!

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful sauces, and tender meat will make a big difference in the taste of your stir-fry.
Cut your vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for thin slices or strips.
Marinate your meat or tofu: This will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
Cook your stir-fry in a hot pan: This will help to create a nice sear on the meat and vegetables.
Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much food to the pan, it will not cook evenly. Cook in batches if necessary.
Stir your stir-fry constantly: This will help to prevent the food from sticking to the pan and burning.
Add your sauce towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent it from burning.
Serve your stir-fry immediately: It is best when eaten fresh.
