This super simple, vegan 20-minute meal-in-one recipe for Easy Soba Noodles with Peanuts and Seitan is packed with the flavors and health of buckwheat soba noodles, veggies, peanuts, and protein-rich seitan.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 medium bell pepper (red, yellow, or orange), coarsely chopped
- 1 cup peas, frozen
- 1 medium garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh shredded ginger
- 1 small chili pepper, finely diced (or 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes)
- 1 8-ounce package seitan, sliced, drained
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 (8-ounce) package soba noodles, dried
- 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped roasted peanuts
- 3 green onions, white and green parts, sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped basil or cilantro
Instructions
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the bell pepper, peas, garlic, ginger, and chili pepper, and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the seitan and cook for an additional 1 minutes.
- While vegetables are cooking, mix together peanut butter, broth, orange juice, and soy sauce in a medium bowl with a whisk until mixed well (may still be slightly lumpy).
- Add liquid to skillet with vegetable mixture, and add dried soba noodles.
- Cook, stirring for about 5 minutes, until noodles and vegetables are just tender (but not overcooked), and liquid has been absorbed. May add additional water if needed to create a fluffy, yet not too dry noodle dish.
- Sprinkle with peanuts, green onions and fresh basil or cilantro. Serve immediately.
Notes
Make this gluten-free by substituting tofu for seitan, and using gluten-free soba noodles and gluten-free soy sauce.
