    We all know I love sharing simple recipes with you guys. I think I say it in just about every post..."this recipe is sooooo simple".

    And this recipe is no different. We're keeping things simple, quick and totally tasty. I mean who can say no to a bowl full of noodles and veggies?

    This recipe is totally adaptable - change the spice level depending on your mood, up the garlic if you won't be kissing anyone later, swap out the veggies depending on what you have on hand. This recipe is really meant for anyone and everyone.

    What you need to make Spicy Garlic Soba Noodles with Bok Choy

    I personally love soba noodles - you can find the ones I used here, or get them at your local grocery store in the Asian section. But you could use spaghetti, chow mein, or rice noodles if that's all you have on hand.

    I also always use a low sodium soy sauce - or you could use tamari if you are gluten free.

    How to make Spicy Garlic Soba Noodles with Bok Choy

    For the veggies I picked baby bok choy simply because I love it. I just gave mine a quick sauté with some sesame oil, red pepper flakes and a dash of soy sauce. Once the leaves started to wilt I set it aside and started on the combining the noodles and sauce.

    This is a super quick process - the soba noodles take less than 5 minutes to cook and the sauce just requires some stirring in a bowl before you combine it all together.

    Add the bok choy back to the pan to warm up for a few seconds, then serve those noods up with green onion, cilantro and red pepper flakes.

    You could easily add vegan chicken to this or even tofu. Or just keep it simple and slurp up the noodles on their own.

      This was awesome! We didn't have the chili sauce and had to use what we had on hand during the pandemic, as this is a no-shop-week for us. I found an old jar of black bean garlic sauce and used a tablespoon of that instead of the chili garlic sauce and just added more red pepper flakes to make up for the missing heat. We used tons of extra veggies along with the bok choi and baked some marinated tofu in the air fryer -- this is definitely a use-whatever-veggies-you've-got kind of recipe. Loved it!

      My husband and I loved this! However it was quite spicy for my kids. What kind of garlic chili sauce do you use? I used garlic chili oil, but there were other types of chili sauces.... I didn’t know what to get!

        You could do a sweet chili sauce - you can find it in the Asian section and they sell it at Trader Joe's 🙂

      Seriously so good. Used more noodles so I just eyeballed the sauce. Added red bell peppers, bean sprouts, pan fried tofu, mix of fancy mushrooms.

      We loved this! It was so quick to make, the sauce is delicious, and we found it lip-numbingly spicy (in a good way). My market was out of baby bok choy, so I used an assortment of cabbage, carrots, and broccoli. I might throw in some tofu next time, but it was perfect as is. Thank you!

      This is super delicious! I could eat this everyday. I added edamame and shredded carrots to my noodle water and subbed red cabbage for the bean sprouts! YUM! The sauce is absolutely amazing! Thank you <3

      Can this recipe be adapted to serve at room temperature or cold? I would like to take it to a pot luck held after my Quaker meeting. This necessitates it being held for a couple of hours before presentation; from my kitchen to the meeting house and finally to the pot luck table.

        I personally ate the leftovers cold. I don't know if the bok choy would be the best cold, but the noodles would definitely be fine.
