Sesame soba with chicken, broccoli and mushrooms is an easy and delicious recipe that combines the Japanese tradition of soba noodles with the aromatic touch of sesame. This stir-fry dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner: it comes together in under 30 minutes and is packed with protein and crunchy vegetables.
Originating from Japan, soba noodles are made from buckwheat flour and have a slightly nutty flavor that pairs wonderfully with the sauce made from soy, honey, and ginger. The chicken, broccolini, and cremini mushrooms add texture and nutrients, while the sesame oil enhances the umami profile of the dish.
This recipe is ideal for those looking for a complete and balanced meal without complications. The sweet-and-sour sauce with a hint of ginger balances the freshness of broccolini and the juiciness of chicken. You can adapt it with other proteins like beef or tofu, and add toasted sesame seeds as a finishing touch.
In short, a healthy, quick, and flavorful option that will delight the whole family. Give it a try and enjoy a unique dish with an Asian twist!

Cook the soba noodles according to the instructions given.
Mix all the ingredients for the sauce and set it aside.
Put a pan on medium high heat and spray with a little oil. Once hot, toss in the garlic and mushrooms and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, until the sautéed mushrooms appear on all sides. Then toss in the broccolini and brown for another 5 to 6 minutes. Be careful not to burn the broccoli, you want it to be a little firm and crunchy.
Allow the chicken to cool and then mix the noodles with the vegetables and pasta. Add your choice of protein (i.e. chicken, lean side dish, etc.) and half of the sauce.
Shake and enjoy. Garnish with sesame seeds.
