When it comes to gluten-free noodles, Soba (buckwheat noodles) are my favourite. They have a firm texture, and a nutty flavour, not to mention the noodles are nutritionally packed in comparison to other gluten-free noodles. Initially, when I made this recipe, I used chicken, but today I have adapted this amazing noodle dish to a vegan recipe so everyone can enjoy it. In addition, I made a spectacular sauce that will make you drool, tying everything together perfectly. For Monday night dinner, I love this spicy soba noodle dish because I can have it on the table in less than 30 minutes. Enjoy!
