How simple soba noodle soup recipe

serves 1

Soba noodles are made of buckwheat as well as regular wheat and

have a subtle ‘healthy’ flavour. Most other noodles could be used here if

you prefer. Likewise, the veg can be varied to suit your taste (and what

you have in the fridge!) baby spinach would be lovely.

Remember that the noodles are going to keep cooking in the broth after

you’ve served up so best to slightly undercook first.

1 1/2 cups vegetable stock

handful soba noodles (approx 50g or 2oz)

3 heads baby bok choy, leaves separated

large pinch chilli flakes, optional

1 – 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Bring stock to the boil in a medium saucepan. Add noodles and

simmer for 2 minutes.

Add bok choy and chilli and 1T soy sauce and simmer for another

minute or until noodles are only just cooked (see note above).

Remove from the heat. Taste and add extra soy if needed. Serve

hot.

enjoy
