Ingredients

6 ounces soba noodles
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 ounces baby bella, cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
2 bok choy, stems sliced crosswise 1/2-inch wide and leaves torn
2 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Cook the soba noodles according to package instructions in a large saucepan of salted boiling water, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking together. Drain the noodles in a strainer and rinse with cold water.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil and rice vinegar.
Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the vegetable oil, swirling to coat. When the oil is shimmering add the mushrooms and sauté for a 3-4 minutes until they start to brown.
Add the bok choy stems, white parts of the scallions, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Continue sautéing until fragrant and the bok choy stems are cooked but still crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the soba noodles and pour in the soy sauce mixture, letting it bubble.
Fold in the bok choy leaves and green parts of the scallions.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container the refrigerator up to 4 days. Warm them in the microwave or in a skillet over low heat with a little oil. You can also eat them cold.

If you want to include a protein such as tofu, chicken or shrimp, sauté it in the skillet first. Then set it aside on a plate, wipe out the skillet and cook the recipe as written. You can stir in the protein at with the soba noodles.
