4 Comments Delicious and easy is this soba noodles dish with spicy chicken and lemon. Perfect for an easy side dish during the week and even better with some additional vegetables.
Lemon pepper soba noodles
Noodles… They make me happy. And this dish is really simple to make. I used soba noodles that are made of buckwheat flour and therefore are gluten free. Not the reason I used them but I just like the taste. Maybe they’re almost as good as my green tea noodles. The dish itself is pure simplicity really; the chicken is marinated really briefly in lemon pepper and a tablespoon soy sauce.
Soba noodles
Now one thing to keep in mind if you’re buying soba noodles. I used a package that clearly stated that it was gluten free but not all soba noodles are created equal. So make sure to check the package if gluten free is important to you.
As for the lemon pepper. It was a ready made mix. But if you do not have or can’t find it, just use a mix of black pepper and lemon zest for the same effect.
Add extra vegetables
The dish could do with a bit more vegetables I have to say; this was just a quick dish with what I had leftover in the fridge, but you could easily add stir fried paksoi to it to give you more greens. O and to finish it off I added a splash of delicious lemon oil. If this is something you cannot find it is also a good option to go for olive oil combined with lemon juice or lemon zest.
The dish is made in under half an hour and is super tasty as it is, but will be even better with extra veggies.
