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

Yes, you can use udon, rice noodles, or even whole wheat spaghetti as alternatives for soba noodles. Adjust cooking times according to package instructions.
Simply omit the chicken and add tofu or tempeh for protein. Increase the quantity of mushrooms or add other vegetables like bell peppers for more texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan with a splash of water or soy sauce to prevent drying out.
Freezing is not recommended as noodles can become mushy upon thawing. If necessary, freeze components separately (e.g., cooked chicken and veggies) and assemble fresh.
Use zucchini noodles (zoodles) or shirataki noodles for a low-carb version. Sauté them briefly to avoid sogginess.
Rinse cooked soba noodles under cold water and toss with a bit of oil. Stir-fry them quickly with the other ingredients to maintain texture.
Yes, but thaw and pat them dry first to avoid excess moisture. Add them later in the cooking process to prevent sogginess.
Double or triple ingredients evenly, but cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lead to uneven cooking.
Try teriyaki, hoisin, or oyster sauce for variation. Adjust salt levels accordingly since some sauces are saltier than others.
