Soba Noodles
Protein Packed Soba Noodles
While I generally prefer to use a good chickpea or lentil pasta, this time I decided to use soba noodles and create a much healthier (and yummy!) version of this dish. I love this recipe because it’s:
Healthier than most soba noodle recipes I’ve seen.
Easy to make.
So tasty!
Ingredients are mostly whole foods.
It provides enough protein to use it as a post-workout meal.
Simple Ingredients
Soba noodles
Cooked mung beans
Carrots
Broccoli florets
Green beans
Garlic cloves

Sesame paste has one ingredient; toasted sesame seeds, which provides an amazing nutty flavor to this recipe.
Sesame oil: I use a cold pressed sesame oil for this recipe.
How to Make Protein Packed Soba Noodles?
You need two pots for this recipe.
In a small pot, boil water and cook the noodles for a bit less time than the recommendation to leave them al dente.
In a large pot, add the sesame oil and sauté the veggies.
Add the beans, water, sesame paste, and soy sauce and cook for another 5 minutes.
Turn it off, add the cooked soba noodles, stir, top with sesame seeds, and serve!

Notes
Beans: I used cooked mung beans, but any type of bean would work great. Just make sure to not over cook your beans.
Sesame paste I make my own, but Chinese grocery stores sell it, or you can find it online. If you want to make it, just email me and I'll tell you how I make mine.
