Hi Friends!
I first made this dinner back in 2011 and since then it has become one of my go-to dinner recipes. It’s quick, it’s healthy and it’s easy to customize with whatever I have on hand. I usually use shrimp because they cook so quickly, but I’ve also made it with fresh chicken, or as a way to use up leftover chicken or pork.
You can use whatever veggies you have on hand. I usually use a mix of fresh and frozen and my standard choices are onions, red pepper and broccoli but I’ve also used corn, green beans, carrots, etc.
I’ve also made this with zoodles instead of soba noodles! (Check out my 6 Quick and Easy Zoodles Recipes).
Here’s the recipe…and I use that term loosely because I never measure when making this. It’s very forgiving 🙂

Wow! I cannot wait to make this! I’ve never tried soba noodles before, but I’m game 🙂
I have 4 boxes of Soba noodles and needed some recipe inspiration – looks fabulous! Where did you get the thai chili sauce?
i just get it at my regular grocery store, it’s usually near the soy sauce and teryaki and stuff
I’m all about the sweet and spicy. And soba noodles! They seem more satisfying than regular ones.
they definitely are!!
I will definitely be making this soon! The bf absolutely loves stir-fry or anything that resembles it so I know it will be a hit in my house! 🙂
this is a winner for sure! enjoy 🙂
I love the sweet and salty combo. Especially in Asian dishes. I have been meaning to use a package of soba noodles that I have in my pantry forever!
get on it girl. i love them!
This recipe sounds awesome! I love Asian flavors + the sweet and spicy combo!
Yum that looks fabulous! I’m starting to like the sweet and spicy combo more and more because I’m not a huge fan of plain spicy, so the sweetness kind of levels it out for me :).
yeah i’m all about spicy but sometimes it’s nice to have the balance!
After seeing your Twitter post, I was waiting for this recipe. Another one of yours bookmarked. It looks amazing!!

Love this! I want to try it with scallops 🙂

That looks awesome! I love easy recipes that you can whip up in no time. I’m definitely going to try this! I have a feeling my bf will have the same reaction as your hubs.

this sounds fantastic! i love the idea…. and i happen to have a bottle of chili sauce in the fridge. 🙂
Sounds like it’d be great with tofu or tempeh!
I made this one night last week and both my husband and I fell in love! I’m making it again for him on Christmas Eve. Great recipe!
