· Cut the chicken flesh into small pieces.
· Prepare the dressing separately: mix the garlic, soy sauce, honey and water, passed through a press.

Soba does not need to be fried - otherwise it will lose the characteristic nutty flavor that buckwheat flour gives it. In a minute, it will have time to soak in the sauce, meat and vegetable juice.
Before serving, you can sprinkle the dish with sesame seeds or fresh chopped herbs, such as green onions. Lettuce or randomly torn Chinese cabbage leaves would also be good.
If you don’t have a wok at your disposal, don’t think that it’s not available to you. Try using a traditional sauté pan. It may take longer to fry the food, but it will still taste great.
Today, I want to offer a recipe for one of the traditional dishes of Japanese cuisine - soba with vegetables and chicken. Soba is noodles made from buckwheat flour. In Japan, the word “Soba” is used to describe different types of thin noodles, so to clarify, buckwheat is called “nihonsoba.” Asians love combining buckwheat noodles with different foods, such as mushrooms, vegetables, legumes, meat or seafood.
My family also loves oriental dishes. Most often, I cook buckwheat noodles in combination with tender chicken breast, champignons, bell peppers, carrots and onions. The product range is very popular and affordable. And the end result is a very light, bright and tasty dish - soba noodles with chicken and vegetables!
Ingredients:
- 100 g buckwheat noodles;
- 200 g chicken breast;
- 1 bell pepper;
- 150 g champignons;
- 1 onion;
- 1 carrot;
- salt, pepper - to taste;
- 50 g soy sauce;
- 1 tbsp. l. rice vinegar.
1. Wash the chicken breast in running water, dry it with paper towels and cut into small slices.
2. Fry the meat for 3-4 minutes in a hot frying pan with vegetable oil until golden brown. Season with spices.
3. All vegetables: carrots, onions and bell peppers, washed, peeled and cut into thin strips.
4. Place carrots and onions in the frying pan with the meat. Mix. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, clean and cut the champignons into slices.
6. Add mushrooms to chicken with vegetables. Stir and continue to simmer for 5-7 minutes.
7. Then lay out the bell pepper. Add salt, pepper and favorite spices to taste.
8. Place the buckwheat noodles in a pan of boiling salted water. Let it boil for 3-4 minutes (pay attention to the time indicated on the manufacturer’s packaging, stick to it).
9. After cooking, place the soba in a colander and rinse under running water.
11. Continue cooking over low heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Cover with a lid and simmer for another 2 minutes.
12. This soba turned out so delicious and aromatic: with chicken, vegetables, and sauce for company! Serve the noodles hot, and top the dish with sesame seeds.

- For a good tasty dish, you need to choose high-quality buckwheat soba noodles. If soba was made only from buckwheat, it would fall apart very quickly. That's why the noodles contain wheat flour. And in some regions of China and Japan, seaweed and green tea are added to soba. But it’s worth paying attention that good quality noodles should contain more than 30% buckwheat flour.
- You should be careful with salt. Chicken with vegetables should not be thoroughly salted, since the dish comes with a dressing that includes soy sauce. And it itself is very salty.
- Instead of champignons, you can take shiitake mushrooms, which will fit very harmoniously into a dish like soba with mushrooms.
- A good addition to vegetables would be green beans (you can use frozen) and celery. And if you like it spicy, then half a chili pepper will make your dish fiery.
- Any long noodles boiled in a saucepan run the risk of turning into one sticky lump. To prevent this from happening, there is one little trick. Just add a little vegetable oil to a pan of boiling water and follow the time indicated on the package.
The recipe for soba noodles with chicken is not at all complicated, but you will definitely be able to diversify your menu and pamper your household!

Noodles made from buckwheat flour have been a fairly frequent guest on our table lately. So, after I tried it at a party, I started cooking it at home, and I had already found many different recipes and added some of my own, since you can’t always easily find the appropriate ingredients (after all, such noodles are the basis of Japanese cuisine).
At first there were doubts that my family would like this product. But, since we all love pasta, soba dishes, which is what Japanese housewives correctly call these noodles, have found their niche in our family menu.
I myself enjoy working with such noodles so much that I even learned how to cook them myself. In principle, there is nothing complicated here, you just need to knead ordinary dough from unusual ingredients and cut it into thin noodles. Although, in my opinion, it’s still easier to just buy soba in a store.

And what’s also important is that it cooks very quickly, just 15-20 minutes and a hot, delicious dinner is on the table.
