Easy ginger-miso soba stir-fry for beginners. Enjoy a nutritious meal with fresh veggies and simple ingredients. Perfect for clean eating newbies!
Ingredients
- • soba noodles: 8 oz
- • sesame oil: 1 tablespoon
- • fresh ginger, grated: 1 tablespoon
- • garlic, minced: 2 cloves
- • red bell pepper, thinly sliced: 1 medium
- • snap peas, trimmed: 1 cup
- • carrots, julienned: 1 medium
- • baby spinach: 2 cups
- • green onions, sliced: 2
- • white miso paste: 2 tablespoons
- • low-sodium soy sauce: 2 tablespoons
- • rice vinegar: 1 tablespoon
- • toasted sesame seeds: 1 teaspoon
- • water: 1/4 cup
Instructions
- 1 Cook the soba noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- 2 In a large wok or skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- 3 Add the sliced red bell pepper, snap peas, and julienned carrots to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- 4 In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and water until smooth. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir well to coat.
- 5 Add the cooked soba noodles and baby spinach to the wok. Toss everything together until the spinach wilts and the noodles are heated through.
- 6 Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • This savory ginger-miso soba stir-fry pairs beautifully with a light cucumber salad dressed in rice vinegar and sesame oil to complement the flavors. For an added boost of nutrition, serve alongside a small bowl of edamame seasoned with sea salt. A chilled green tea or a refreshing glass of lemon-infused water would be the perfect beverage to accompany this meal, enhancing its light and fresh qualities. If you're hosting a casual dinner, consider adding a simple fruit platter with sliced oranges, kiwi, and strawberries for a sweet finish. This not only rounds out the meal with natural sugars but also introduces a burst of color that pleases the eye and the palate.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To maintain the noodles' texture, reheat them gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or soy sauce if necessary to prevent drying out. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the soba noodles mushy and overcook the vegetables.
