Wok Seared Soba Noodles with Chicken and Black Beans

A nice easy stir fry which has added interest due to the use of soba noodles and black beans. The recipe for this stir fry can be found at http://www.goldendoor.com.au/default.asp?action=article&ID=22807 Soba noodles are thin Japanese noodles made from buckwheat flour which is high in amino acids (protein), as well as having other health benefits, and wheat flour. They can be used in hot or cold dishes and I really like their flavour and texture. They can be found in the Asian section of your supermarket.
To make this stir fry you first cook the soba noodles. Stir fry the chicken and then add capsicum, carrot, onion, garlic, ginger and mushrooms. Add in some soy sauce, chilli sauce and black beans, then finally stir through the soba noodles and some spinach. Asian fermented Black beans can be found in Asian shops and are made from soy beans which have been heavily salted. You do not need much as they are very salty but they add a great flavour to stir fries and other Asian dishes.
Rating 6-7 out of 10.
