Soba Noodles have many advantages. They are gluten-free and have a low percentage of carbohydrates. The main ingredient is buckwheat flour, but sometimes they are mixed with normal wheat flour, so make sure to check the label when you buy them.
I do love them with vegetables and a homemade miso sauce. I found this great purple Chinese cabbage, you can see the intense color in the picture. It’s quite hard to get this sort of Chinese cabbage in Switzerland, but it will work just fine with the “normal” Chinese cabbage. The recipe for this very delicious Veggie Soba Noodles with Miso Sauce is only one version of how I cook it. You can make it with each veggie you like and please be courageous to cut your veggie leftovers into the pot.
Look at them – Don’t this soba noodles look fantastic with the veggies and sesame seeds on top?
