Soba Noodles with Sweet Ginger Scallion Sauce

This recipe comes to us from Food.com. I wanted to try it because it seemed to be very easy, and who can resist a Sweet Ginger Scallion Sauce?? The ready-to-serve packaged noodles make this a time saving recipe, and switching out the julienned cucumber for sweet red bell pepper adds to the flavor and eye appeal. I didn’t have chili oil, so I added red pepper flakes, and I increased the honey. This is a winner of a recipe that I know we’ll make again in the future.

So, let’s get cooking!

First, chop the cilantro and mince the ginger. Slice the red bell pepper and cut into one inch lengths. Mix together the ingredients for the sauce.

In a large skillet with a little oil, sauté the red bell pepper slices for about 4-5 minutes. Add the pre-cooked soba noodles. Stir in the Sweet Ginger Scallion Sauce and heat through. Serve and Enjoy! ~TMMF
