When following a gluten-free diet, a delicious noodle dish is always popular. In this recipe, I used buckwheat noodles also called soba noodles because they have a good texture and are flavourful. The veggies combined with ginger and garlic are cooked in a tasty sauce then tossed with noodles and bean sprouts. I finished the dish with thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds. This gluten-free Shanghai buckwheat noodle dish can be served as a side or as a main. Buckwheat noodles are a good source of nutrients like manganese, lean protein, and thiamine, and are lower in carbs and calories in comparison to rice or corn pasta.
