Lunchtime in my house is full of emotions. Most of the time I have been working for a few hours and have totally forgotten to eat breakfast. This means I’m starving beyond belief, and I’m teetering on the edge of what I like to call “the hangries.”
The hangries is a mixed emotion of hungry and angry. Or really, it’s just that I’m so hungry I start to get angry and super cranky. This means I need to eat lunch fast. Luckily this simple soba noodle dish always hits the spot.
This delicious dish is packed full of soba noodles, meaty shiitake mushrooms, mixed frozen vegetables and lots of fresh chopped kale. The best thing about this dish is that it’s ready in just 20 minutes. From starving to full in just 20 minutes… You cannot beat that.
