Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sesame Soba Noodles with Chicken and Vegetables.
Step 1
Start by bringing 3 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large pot.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling, gently add the soba noodles and stir occasionally as they cook until they’re tender, which should take about 4 to 6 minutes.
Step 3
Once done, drain the noodles and set them aside for later.
Step 4
In a 10-inch skillet or wok, pour in a splash of vegetable oil and a drizzle of sesame oil, heating them over medium heat until they shimmer invitingly, which should take around 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 5
Next, add the chicken thighs to the skillet, cooking them until they’re no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear—this should take about 7 to 10 minutes.
Step 6
As the chicken cooks, toss in the sliced garlic and let it sizzle for 1 to 2 minutes until it becomes fragrant and soft.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to add the quartered mushrooms and baby carrots to the mix, cooking them until they’re tender, which will take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 8
Then, fold in the fresh baby spinach, cover the skillet, and let it steam for 3 to 4 minutes until the spinach wilts beautifully.
Step 9
Finally, add the cooked soba noodles to the vibrant chicken and vegetable medley, tossing everything together until well combined.
Step 10
Serve your delicious creation hot, and enjoy the delightful flavors that come together in this comforting dish!.
