Simple stir-fry with buckwheat soba noodles and tender-crisp vegetables in a creamy cashew butter sauce. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner!

Lately I’ve been struggling with persistent nightmares.

It’s a little funny that at the ripe old age of 32, I’m plagued by bad dreams.

I wake up in bed, whimpering and writhing, uncertain what’s real and what’s a twisted tall-tale told by my subconscious.

Sometimes I say things, too, the words heavy like cement on my lips as I thrust them out in slurred sentences.

Occasionally I remember what was so terrifying– a loved one leaving, being chased by bad guys, or a new classic, finding myself in a crowded public space without a mask.

What never gets old, though, is the very real relief I feel after realizing that the dream was just a dream.

My reality instantly feels like something worth cherishing and celebrating, like something I’m seriously grateful to wake up to.

So, I’m blaming my less than restful beauty sleep on stress.

Yeah, it’s a little nerve-wracking running a business and writing a cookbook.

I know you’re probably busy, too, starting 2021.

So let me make dinner easy, comforting, and nutritious for us, OK?

About Buckwheat Soba Noodles

Goals for 2021: Eat more noodles.

This recipe’s foundation is made with Eden Foods Buckwheat Soba Noodles.

If you’re like me, you might have mistakenly avoided buckwheat believing that it is a type of wheat.

However, despite the name, buckwheat is not actually a wheat at all, and is naturally gluten-free!

These energizing 100% whole grain organic noodles are rich and delicious with a warm flavor.

Buckwheat protein is superior to other cereal grain because it has all essential amino acids!

Eden Foods Buckwheat Soba Noodles is made from only two ingredients: 100% whole grain organic buckwheat and purified water!

These noodles have a hearty texture while providing fiber and protein with no added salt.

They’re fantastic paired with tender-crisp veggies and a dreamy cashew butter sauce.

How to Make It

To begin this recipe, prepare the soba noodles according to package directions.

Rinse the cooked noodles under cool running water to stop the noodles from cooking further.

Next, prepare the vegetables.

I chose a blend of broccoli and carrots, but you could also add bell pepper, mushrooms, onion, or bok choy.

Heat the avocado oil over medium heat in a large pan.

Once the pan is warm, add in the broccoli and carrots and stir-fry them for 5-7 minutes.

Be careful not to overcook them!

For this recipe, you want the vegetables slightly crisp with a bit of bite and a lot of vibrant color.

What You Need to Make the Cashew Butter Sauce

Next, let’s make a dreamy stir-fry sauce made from cashew butter.

Here’s what you need to make this Cashew Butter Sauce:

cashew butter
Eden Foods Tamari Soy Sauce
Eden Foods Maple Syrup
chili paste
Eden Foods Garlic Powder
lime juice
filtered water

That’s it!

How to Make The Cashew Butter Sauce

Make your Cashew Butter Sauce by adding the the cashew butter, Tamari lite, maple syrup, chili paste, garlic powder, lime juice, and filtered water to a mixing bowl.

Whisk everything with a fork or whisker until it’s smooth and creamy.

If the sauce is very thick, add filtered water in 1 Tablespoon increments as needed to thin everything out.

You want the sauce to be thick but pourable.

How to Serve Cashew Butter Soba Noodle Stir Fry

To serve, add the soba noodles to individual bowls and top them with the veggies.

Dress the noodles and stir fried vegetables with the freshly mixed cashew butter sauce and toss everything to combine.

Garnish the bowls with scallions, sesame seeds and fresh basil.

Dig in!

How to Enjoy It

Enjoy this Cashew Butter Soba Noodle Stir Fry as an easy and fast option for a weeknight dinner.

It’s perfect for serving anytime you’re craving a cozy plant-based noodle bowl that’s also gluten-free and packed with vegetables.

Make the recipe quickly on the stove-top for a fresh meal with minimal ingredients.

The recipe below serves 3-4, but if you don’t want leftovers or have a small skillet, divide the ingredients by half to make a smaller serving.

Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days and reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.

Enjoy!
