Ingredients

4servings

3 ounces dried soba noodles2 tablespoons soy sauce2 tablespoons oyster sauce1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese sweet wine)1 tablespoon olive oil½ green bell pepper, chopped¼ onion, sliced½ cup fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces1 cup baby spinach leaves

Instructions

Cook Soba Noodles

Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, add the soba noodles and cook them uncovered for about 7 minutes, stirring now and then, until they’re tender but still have a bit of bite. Drain the noodles and set them aside.

Prepare sauce mixture

While the noodles are cooking, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and mirin in a small bowl and keep it nearby.

Saut Vegetables

Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then toss in the bell pepper, onion, and green beans. Sauté them just until they’re softened but still have a little crunch, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Toss Noodles with Veggies

Add the cooked soba noodles to the veggies and give everything a good toss. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir it all around for another minute or two so the flavors blend nicely.

Wilt the Spinach

Finally, throw in the baby spinach and cook just until it wilts to your liking, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve it up in a bowl and enjoy!
