Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 ounces soba noodles
4 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained, patted dry, and cut into small cubes
Salt
1 stalk broccoli, cut into small florets, stems thinly sliced
2 ounces sugar snap peas
1 tablespoon reduced-fat smooth peanut butter
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
Pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired
2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain and rinse well under cold water to prevent sticking.

  • Coat the skillet again with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, peas, and a splash of water. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and 2 tablespoons water. Whisk in the vinegar, soy sauce, and pepper flakes, if desired.
  • Add the reserved noodles, the tofu, garlic, and sauce to the vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes, tossing, until the noodles are warmed through. Serve.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
2 medium carrots, julienned
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons tamari
1 (10.5 ounce) package dried soba noodles
2 ¼ cups water, or as needed
1 green onion, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. When Instant Pot® displays hot, add olive oil and sesame oil. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in mushrooms, carrots, and pepper; toss to combine. Cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Push vegetables to the outside of the pot, forming an empty circle in the center. Add tamari and soba noodles to the pot and enough water so noodles are just covered. Cancel Saute mode.
  • Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 6 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Mix sauce, noodles and vegetables together using tongs. Sprinkle with chopped green onion and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful protein, and a good quality sauce will make all the difference in your stir-fry.
  • Cut your vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will not cook evenly and will become mushy.
  • Cook the vegetables in batches: If you are using a lot of vegetables, cook them in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan.
  • Use a high heat: Stir-fries are best cooked over high heat so that the vegetables get a nice sear.
  • Stir constantly: This will help the vegetables cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, but not mushy.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end will help prevent the vegetables from becoming tough.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Soba noodle stir-fry is a quick and easy meal that is packed with flavor. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables, and it's also a healthy and affordable option. With a few simple tips, you can easily make a delicious and satisfying stir-fry at home.
