Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Ingredients

Begin by **cutting the chicken fillet** into bite-sized pieces. You will also need to **chop all of the vegetables**: zucchini, broccoli, mushrooms, bell pepper, and spinach. Make sure they are all similar in size for even cooking.

Step 2

Cook the Chicken

Heat a pan over medium-high heat and **add vegetable oil**. Once hot, **add the chicken fillet** and cook until it's no longer pink, which should take about **5-7 minutes**. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Add the Vegetables

Next, add the mushrooms to the pan and stir for a minute. Then, **add the zucchini, bell pepper, broccoli, edamame beans**, and spinach **one after the other**. Allow each vegetable to cook for a few minutes before adding the next, which helps to retain their **vibrant colors and flavors**.

Step 4

Season the Stir-Fry

Once all the vegetables are in the pan, it’s time to **add your seasonings**. Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and dried garlic to taste. Make sure to **stir everything evenly** so that the flavors combine well. Cook for a few more minutes until all the ingredients are tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Add the Noodles and Soy Sauce

Now, bring out your **cooked buckwheat noodles**. After rinsing them under cold water, add them to the pan along with **soy sauce**. Use tongs to **toss everything together** until the noodles are coated with the sauce and mixed with the vegetables.

Step 6

Final Touch

Before serving, sprinkle the **salted peanuts** on top of the noodles for an added crunch. Mix them in lightly and serve the dish warm. Enjoy your **Delicious Green Soba Noodle Stir-Fry**!
