Confession: I have NO idea what soba noodles are. I tried to find them at my local grocery store and came home empty-handed. (Actually that's a lie, I came home with a whole load of groceries...ha). So I just used chow mein noodles which I cant imagine taste much different. BUT if you are one of those people who just HAVE to stick to the recipe 100%, have fun driving around town finding soba noodles. Let me know what they are when you find them k? :)
This recipe is so fast and easy, and tastes like it came from a restaurant. I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did!!
Once again, another foodgawker.com success!
What the sauce looks like....the more veggies the better!
