Soba noodles are made of buckwheat as well as regular wheat and have a subtle ‘healthy’ flavour. Most other noodles could be used here if you prefer.

Likewise, the veg can be varied to suit your taste (and what you have on hand!) baby spinach would be lovely. If you were after more protein, some tofu or even very finely sliced chicken breast would be great.

Remember that the noodles are going to keep cooking in the broth after you’ve served up so best to slightly undercook first.

1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
handful soba noodles (approx 50g or 2oz)
3 heads baby bok choy, leaves separated
large pinch chilli flakes, optional
1T – 2T soy sauce

Bring stock to the boil in a medium saucepan. Add noodles and simmer for 2 minutes. Add bok choy and chilli and 1T soy sauce and simmer for another minute or until noodles are only just cooked (see head note).

Remove from the heat. Taste and extra soy if needed. Serve hot.
