Tips & Variations

• For extra freshness, garnish with chopped spring onions or sesame seeds before serving.
• Swap prawns for chicken or tofu to suit dietary preferences.
• If you prefer a milder dish, omit the red chilli or use a small pinch of paprika instead.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave, adding a splash of water to loosen the sauce if needed. This dish is best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture.

FAQs

Can I use fresh broccoli instead of thin-stemmed broccoli?

Yes, fresh broccoli florets work well but may require slightly longer cooking to become tender. Adjust the boiling time accordingly to avoid undercooked or overly soft broccoli.

Are soba noodles gluten-free?

Traditional soba noodles are made from buckwheat and wheat flour, so they are usually not gluten-free. Look for 100% buckwheat soba noodles if you need a gluten-free option.

Instructions

1. Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, mirin, lemon juice, and caster sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes until it thickens into a syrupy consistency. Once done, remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
2. Cook the Noodles and Broccoli: Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the soba noodles and thin-stemmed broccoli to the boiling water together and cook for about 3 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the broccoli is just crisp-tender.
3. Add the Prawns: Just a few seconds before draining, add the cooked prawns to the boiling water to warm them through without overcooking. Then drain the noodles, broccoli, and prawns thoroughly.
4. Assemble and Serve: Divide the cooked noodles, broccoli, and prawns between two plates. Pour the warm teriyaki sauce evenly over the top of each serving. Finally, sprinkle with the thinly sliced red chilli for a touch of fresh heat and serve immediately.

Notes

• You can substitute soba noodles with whole wheat or rice noodles if preferred.
• Adjust the amount of chili to your heat preference or omit altogether for a milder flavor.
• Cooked prawns can be swapped with cooked chicken or tofu for variation.
• Be careful not to overcook the prawns to keep them tender and juicy.
• Use low-sodium soy sauce to control the salt level in the dish.
