Soba Noodles with Swiss Chard and Mushrooms~ #Sunday Supper

Soba noodles has made its way into my favorite food items list!What is Soba, you might ask?Its a Japanese noodles made with buckwheat flour.Its roughly as thick as Spaghetti and has a nutty taste.Its high in Vitamin B1, B2, minerals and protein!It has huge health benefits not limited to decreasing cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, reducing fat accumulation amongst others.{Source-health hokkaido}



I love the fact that's its a quick cooking noodles [takes about 4-5 minutes to cook] and this dish is very easy to put together.Ideal for busy nights or days when you're looking to cook-up something fast! I'm very excited to bring my dish to our #Sunday Supper this Memorial Day Weekend!If you thought the noodles itself was healthy, my addition of Swiss Chard and Mushrooms make it even more healthier and give it so much flavor and a dark color, that makes for a nutrition packed supper for the whole family.



The garlic, ginger and chilli flakes spice up the noodles and the combination of Soy,Oyster and lemon juice flavors the whole dish.You can add your favorite meat or seafood for a Non-Vegetarian version.Its a meal that's well balanced, wholesome and delicious!
