Note
Soba noodles are a great protein source and are very quick. Usually soba noodles come in little wrapped bunches. I use one bunch per person. Braggs Liquid Aminos is a flavoring akin to soy sauce. It is what I use because people with food sensitivities have tolerate it better than soy sauce. Also, there is no added sodium in it but it delivers great flavor.
