Healthy appetites, soba noodles

I was shopping in Trader Joes and I came across this interesting package, I'm really having trouble coming up with ideas for delicious healthy meals, so this looked perfect!


It comes with a package of noodles, sauce mix, sesame oil and a sprinkle mixture of sesame seeds and seaweed, a healthy sized portion for around 4 people.

I stir fried some veggies in the sesame oil, added some marinaded tofu, and then prepared the noodles as per the package instructions. Tasty and filling! I was left with another 3 lunches for work, or a dinner for us on a weeknight, so it was cheap, cheerful, healthy and delicious!

I added some crunchy lettuce mixed with a little dressing that I whipped up with low fat mayonnaise, wasabi, honey and rice vinegar on the side.

Much as I'd love for Trader Joes to hand me free stuff, I actually went and paid for this, I just thought I'd mention it as many of us are trying to lose a little weight, and
looking for healthy, quick options.

  4. Ah, I saw that too and was very curious, but seriously bummed when I saw that it wasn't vegan. It would have been so easy to make it so!

  5. hi jw - you can get soba noodles for cheap at the asian markets, like zion (korean), or mitsuwa (japanese)... it just doesn't come with the other ingredients though.

  6. Thanks R!

    I really need to check out mitsuwa and the other fun markets in Kearney Mesa, I'm so unfamiliar with that kind of food!

    you can get soba noodles so cheap at zion! or even at marukai market (just down the street from zion), which is also down the street from mitsuwa.
