Ingredients

• Soba noodles (100% buckwheat) - 150 grams
• Coconut aminos - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Carrot - 1 medium, julienned
• Zucchini - 1 medium, julienned
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced

• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Cilantro - a handful, chopped

Steps

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the soba noodles according to package instructions (about 4-5 minutes). Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
2. In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute).
3. Add the julienned carrot, zucchini, and sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
4. Add the cooked soba noodles to the skillet along with the coconut aminos. Toss everything together to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
5. Stir in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
6. Serve the noodles topped with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro.
