Was so tired and sleepy the other night that I was only able to finish one post (First Entree). Actually, as I was doing that post I was cooking another dish for dinner (talk about multitasking!). It is supposed to be mixed vegetables only but I thought I'm making a lot and I couldn't finish it all so I ended up making "soba". I'm not a noodle lover. My stomach always grumble when I try to eat some. I don't know why but every time I eat it I ended up inside the toilet. I guess my stomach is not really for noodles. Though you can make me eat it as long as there's bread.
Anyways, what made me cook soba? A few weeks ago, the local community group (Honjo International Friendship Association) had a BBQ party and one of the food they served was soba. 
It was good, umm sorry, great! It is different from the soba that I knew, the one that they have in Tokyo Tokyo (a Japanese restaurant in Manila). Here the noodles are thin and tasted more like Lucky Me pancit canton (I'm not advertising. I guess they should pay me for this. hehehe). With vegies as key ingredients. But for the one that I prepared, I put in some chicken meat to add flavors (though I can't really eat without meat). Other ingredients are the same except that I couldn't find the seasoning that they used so I just bought the one in packs of three (3) (seasoning included).
Cooking it is quite simple. All we need are the following:

All we need are the following:
- 1/2 pc onion (sliced)
- 1 pc medium size carrot (sliced into thin strips)
- 150gms bean sprouts (toge)
- 200gms cabbage (sliced into thin strips
- 250gms chicken breast meat (diced)
- 3 packs soba noodles with seasoning
- pepper and salt to taste
- 2 tblspoon oil
How to do it:
- In a big pan, heat oil and saute chicken breast until it change color.
- Add the onions and carrots. Mix.
- Put in the cabbage and bean sprouts. Mix again and add some pepper and salt to taste. Cover for about a minute.
- After a minute, put in the soba noodles and add the seasoning. Mix well. Ensure that all the noodles are covered with the seasoning.
- Soba is best with grilled meat (pork or sausages). If you don't have one, you could also try grilled fish just like I did.
Here is the finish product. Enjoy!
