Soba Noodles Stir Fry

Soba Noodles

Soba is the Japanese word for buckwheat. Soba noodles are thin noodles made from buckwheat flour.These noodles are a staple in my pantry. The possibilities to cook these noodles are endless and they can be served either hot or cold. Hot like in soups and cold like in salads, they taste delicious either way. I find them extremely convenient because they cook very fast , taste great and are healthy too.I toss these noodles with a bunch of vegetables in summer for a quick salad but it being winter right now I chose to make something apt for  the weather outside.
