Miso Marinated Chicken with Buckwheat Udon
Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast cubed and marinated
8 oz whole wheat soba noodles
1/2 onion chopped
1 orange bell pepper chopped
2 cups shredded purple cabbage
1 clove garlic chopped
1 thumb ginger grated
2 tsp sesame oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Marinade Ingredients
1 Tbsp miso paste
1/4 C rice vinegar
1 Tbsp honey
Directions
Preparation
1
Add miso paste, rice vinegar and honey to a bowl. Whisk to combine.
2
Add the chicken and toss to coat. Use your fingers. They are the best tools you have.
3
Cover with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator. Let marinade at least 6 hours, overnight is even better.
4
Boil a pot of water. Cook the Soba noodles as per the directions on the package.
5
While the noodles are cooking heat sesame oil over medium heat.
6
Using a slotted spoon or tongs place the chicken into the hot pan.
7
Brown the chicken then remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
8
Add garlic and ginger to the pan. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute to just heat.
9
Next add the pepper and onion. Stir to mix with garlic and ginger and cook for 2-3 minutes to heat up.
10
Add the cabbage. Season with salt and pepper to taste and cook for 1 minute more. Notice we are cooking the vegetables for a very short period of time. I want them to retain their crunch while just being heated through.
11
Mix in the chicken and remove to a plate.
12
Drain the pasta.
13
Add the pasta to the hot pan. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
14
Add back the already prepared ingredients.
15
Mix well using your spatula or a set of tongs.
16
Serve on either a plate or in a bowl.

Every once in a while I get on a kick to eat a bit healthier. This meal certainly qualifies. A light stir fry using small amounts of sesame oil, whole wheat soba noodles and miso marinated chicken with vegetables packs quite a flavorful punch.
