Can't stand the heat? Let someone else roast the chicken, then combine it with quick-cooking noodles, raw veggies, and a stir-together sauce.

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 8 ounces soba (Japanese buckwheat noodles)

Helpful Hint

Most supermarkets carry soba noodles in the international foods aisle, but if you cant find them, substitute whole-wheat spaghetti.
