Quick and easy Soba Noodle Soup


There are  many ways of eating Soba noodle, whether it is cold , with a soup base or simply pan fried them with any ingredients you like,  absolutely up to your imagination.






           

We make a simple dinner some nights.  I just want to quit having too rich or meaty meals at times, this is one of the dishes I do since everyone loves Soba noodle at home.

No fuss in preparation whatsoever.  If you know how to cook instant noodles, you will know how to do this too. :)

For ingredients,  I just use what I see in the fridge and try to improvise depending on the occasion.  So be flexible with the quantity and the kind of ingredients your family would love to have it in, after all it should fit your taste.
       
































Simple ingredients:

1.  Sliced carrots
2.  Sliced soaked mushroom
3.  Brocolli and sweet peas
4.  Sliced and stir fry chicken strips ( marinated before hand, or you may just cook some prawns and chicken strips in the soup base together).
5.  Soba noodle ( cooked al dente)
6.  Soba noodle soup base sauce  ( I got it from local Korean grocery shop)

Note: Prawns would be tasty in the soup too.







Method:

1.  Cook Soba noodle in boiling water with a little salt for 3 to 5 minutes.  Drain in running tap water. Set aside.
2.  In the pot with the soup base, quick boil all vegetables and set them aside.
3.  Pour meat in to cook ( if you are frying the meat).
4.  Add soba soup base sauce in the pot. Generally 2 tablespoons for each bowl.
5.  Add in soba noodle, turn off the heat, get servings ready for the meal !

Note: it really depends on the individual, my children actually put an extra one to 2 tablespoons of sauce into their noodle bowl.  It tasted alright, so adjust to your own taste.  It used natural ingredients without MSG, so go for it.
