Lately, I’ve become obsessed with soba noodles.

I am constantly on a quest for quick, easy dinner ideas. I am often ready to eat as soon as I walk in the front door after work. It’s important for me on those nights to have some quick and healthy dinner options to prevent me from eating cheese and crackers for dinner. The short cooking time of ~3-5 minutes for the noodles means dinner comes fast.

After searching the internet for soba noodle recipes, I came across this one from Love and Lemons : a bowl of soba noodles chock full of kale, edamame, peanuts, lime and cilantro.  It’s a nutritious, quick meal loaded with veggies that is almost as quick as take-out.

I even make the sauce the night before and then just pull it out of the fridge as soon as I get home while I finish the rest of the ingredients.  Super easy, super fast, and super nutritious. I mean, do you really need anything else in your weeknight meal?

And after a dinner like this one, I feel I deserve that little square of dark chocolate for dessert. Or two.

Enjoy!
