I pulled
this recipe out of one of my cookbooks because I thought it looked like an interesting way to serve chicken. I had every intention of (mostly) following the recipe, but my plans changed. That day, my mom brought me a large container of snow pea shoots and some oyster mushrooms. At that point, it didn’t make any sense for me to go out and buy the vegetables specified in the recipe, so I used the pea shoots and oyster mushrooms instead.
The vegetables are cooked with chicken and tossed with soba noodles. A soy and sake based sauce completes the dish. I don’t cook with soba noodles that often, but I should; they cook quickly and have a great texture.
Although I strayed from the recipe, I think the original combination of broccoli, button mushrooms and red peppers would also be great in this dish.

I haven't had soba noodles, but would love to try them. This dish looks so enticing and your pictures are great, Sara!
I like your slant - no pun intended and nothing not pc was suggested what-so-ever.
I prefer it with spinach, and haven't eaten them for long time...Udon and soba are really good for the stir-fry and soup.
p.s Are you going to use the chopsticks? My husband finds chopsticks are not easy to use.
Yum, looks delicious AND healthy! I love how your picture is 100x better than the one on the Cooking Light site :)
