Calories: 216kcal
Ingredients
- 12 ounces dried soba noodles (udon noodles are great too)
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 1.75 cups veggie broth or water
- 3 cups fresh mushrooms sliced
- 3/4 cup fresh green beans
- 1 red bell pepper diced, or yellow or green
- 8 oz seitan sliced, available in refrigerator section of many grocery stores
- 2 tablespoons flour any kind
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic or 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Cook noodles according to package directions.
- Drain and rinse under cool water. Once cooked, drain the pasta and rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process and help keep it from sticking together.
- Sauté onion in a skillet with 3 Tbsp veggie broth until transparent. I like to caramelize mine. Add mushrooms and bell peppers. Only add more water if needed. Continue cooking for approximately 5 minutes on medium heat.
- Add the seitan and stir it in with the vegetables well, allow them to continue cooking for 2-3 minutes. I have provided information on where to purchase seitan and how to make your own in the post above.
- Place veggie broth or water and flour in a medium bowl with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and pepper and whisk together well.
- Pour over stir fry and cook uncovered until thickened. Serve stir fry over noodles.

Notes
Tips & Suggestions:
Noodle substitute- Udon noodles can be used to replace soba noodles in a stir fry for their thicker, chewier texture and ability to absorb sauces. While soba noodles offer a nutty flavor, udon noodles provide a more substantial bite that holds up well in stir-fries and pairs nicely with hearty vegetables and robust sauces.
Prevent sticking- To prevent soba noodles from sticking together, rinse them under cold water after cooking to remove excess starch.
