Soba with chicken
Chicken soba is ready in about half an hour, with most of the time spent washing and chopping the chicken and vegetables. The key is not to overcook the buckwheat noodles. I use a timer, setting it for 2-3 minutes less than the packet instructions.
Put a pan of salted water on to boil for the noodles while you prepare the other ingredients.
Cut the chicken into thin narrow strips. Grate the garlic and ginger on a fine grater without mixing.
Cut the pepper into long strips. Grate the carrots on a julienne grater.
Slice the green onion tops.
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and add garlic. Fry for a minute.
Increase the heat and add the chicken pieces. Fry for 5-6 minutes. At the end, add ginger and stir.
While the chicken is frying, cook the noodles. There's just enough time.
Add peppers and carrots to the chicken.
Fry everything together for 6-7 minutes. Add soy sauce and sugar. Mix everything
and lay out the noodles. Mix. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds
and serve it on the table.
