Cooking Tips

  • For a thicker sauce: If you prefer your stir fry with a thicker sauce, you can increase the amount of cornstarch slightly. Just be sure to dissolve it in water before adding to prevent clumping.
  • Veggie variations: Feel free to swap out or add more vegetables based on your preference or what you have on hand. This is a great way to increase the fiber content even further.
  • Soba noodle preparation: Rinse cooked soba noodles with cold water to remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together. This will also help in keeping the dish light and refreshing.
  • Adjust the heat: If you like a bit of heat in your stir fry, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
