Special Soba
Soba noodles are made from buckwheat, a whole grain. Eating a least 3 servings of whole grain daily may reduce blood cholesterol.

Substitution
Need an easy substitute for soba noodles? Use whole wheat spaghetti or ramen noodles.

Sizzling shrimp and veggies top off tasty noodles. Looks like it came from an Asian restaurant but takes only 30 minutes in a common skillet. From eatbetteramerica.

yum
the soba noodles were sooo good in this recipe! i thought the flavors were good,just the right amount of sauce. my only thought is maybe it would be better with snap peas instead of the green beans, and maybe add some waterchestnuts too

It was okay
I will use the suggestions of the other reviewers the next time I prepare this (i.e.-mushrooms,scallions). I thought it was bland. But, overall a decent meal.

This was a great recipe. Did not take long to prepare on a weekday/work night. I used whole wheat pasta noodles & added fresh mushrooms. I will make this again, but next time double the broth/sauce

Very good recipe
This recipe was a big hit for myself and my family. Taste was excellent and textures went together very well. I added mushrooms and green onions to the recipe, otherwise I followed if pretty closely. Made the three berry salad listed on this site to accompany the meal and together it was a very satisying meal.
