Ingredients

• Soba noodles (100% buckwheat) - 100g
• Chicken breast - 200g, cubed
• Zucchini - 1 medium, sliced into rounds
• Red bell pepper - 1, cut into chunks
• Green onion - 2, chopped

Steps

1. Soak the soba noodles in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
2. In a bowl, combine chicken cubes, zucchini, red bell pepper, garlic, ginger, coconut aminos, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken and vegetables.
3. Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating between chicken and veggies.
