How to Make Szechuan Green Beans And Soba

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook for 5 minutes, or according to package directions. Drain the noodles and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  2. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Remove the seeds and set aside.
  3. Add the vegetable oil to the wok. Once hot, add the green beans and sauté for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for another 2 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
  4. Add the minced garlic and chili flakes; cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. If using tofu or quorn, add it now and cook until heated through.
  5. Add the cooked soba noodles to the wok and toss to combine with the green beans and other ingredients.
  6. Pour in the soy sauce and toss again to coat the noodles evenly.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with the toasted sesame seeds.
