Soba with chicken and sweet pepper - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use shrimp, beef, tofu, or tempeh as alternatives. Adjust cooking times accordingly—shrimp cooks faster (2-3 minutes), while beef may need 5-6 minutes.
Thin whole wheat noodles, udon, or even spaghetti work well. For a low-carb option, try spiralized zucchini or shirataki noodles.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan with a splash of water or soy sauce to prevent dryness.
Absolutely! Swap chicken for tofu or mushrooms, use vegan teriyaki sauce, and ensure your soba noodles are egg-free (check the packaging).
Try a simple cucumber salad, miso soup, or steamed edamame. Pickled ginger adds a nice tangy contrast too.
Freezing isn't recommended, as noodles can become mushy. For meal prep, store cooked components separately and assemble when ready to eat.
Add red pepper flakes while frying the vegetables, or drizzle with sriracha or chili oil before serving.
Use low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, and reduce the amount of teriyaki sauce or opt for a homemade version with less sugar.
