Even if I’m not a real vegan (and it’s not for lack of trying, but I’m weak, and used to give up at barbecue temptation), I like to grant myself some meals without meat sometimes. This in order to cook something healthy, or to redeem a fast food week. Yes, eating crap happens to the best of us!
As soon as I have a bit of time to spend in the kitchen, I buy tons of veggies and I prepare some little healthy plasures.
The interest of Soba noodle is that they are made of Buckweat flour, which means without gluten, and delicious, with a strong, nutty flavor.
To add a little bit of Japan in my recipe, I put some Wakame seaweed, wich give in each salad or preparation this specific flavor that you can retrieve in Miso soups. You can find Wakame seaweed in most Japanese or asian shop.
In this recipe, the veggies list is not exhaustive. You can adapt it as you like, depending of the vegetables that you can find.
I like to add kale cabbage, broccoli or sugar snap peas…
