Why Soba Noodles?
Soba noodles, made from buckwheat flour, have a slight earthy flavour and are a great alternative to traditional wheat noodles. They’re lighter, yet filling, and bring a unique texture that pairs wonderfully with stir-fried ingredients. They’re also a good source of fibre and protein, making this dish not just tasty, but healthy, too. That said, you can exchange for other noodles or even rice to use what you already have in the pantry.
Tips For The Perfect Beef Broccoli And Noodle Stir-Fry
- Prep all the ingredients beforehand: Stir-fries cook quickly, so having everything ready to go makes the process smoother and ensures nothing overcooks.
- Cut the beef thinly: Thin slices cook quickly and stay tender.
- Tenderising the beef: Marinade the beef for at least 10 minutes before cooking. The bicarb in the marinade helps to tenderise the beef, making for a succulent stir-fry.
- Don’t overcook the soba noodles: They cook faster than wheat noodles, so be sure to keep an eye on them. Rinsing them under cold water also helps prevent them from cooking any further and to stop them from clumping.
This beef broccoli and soba noodle stir-fry is the perfect balance of flavours and textures – savoury, slightly sweet, and packed with wholesome ingredients. The noodles soak up the delicious stir-fry sauce, while the broccoli and red capsicum add satisfying crunch and vibrant colour. It’s a dish that feels both comforting and fresh, making it a great choice for a quick, nutritious dinner.
Whether you’re looking for a new family favourite or a go-to meal for busy nights, this beef and noodle stir-fry is sure to become a staple!

Instructions

- Heat a wok or frying pan on high and add the oil. Add the onion and stir-fry for 30 seconds before adding the beef. Cook stirring for 2-3 minutes. The meat should be browning, but not cooked through.
- Add the broccoli and stir-fry for a further 60 seconds then add the capsicum and sauce. Cook until the sauce has thickened and the broccoli and meat are just tender. Add the noodles, stir to coat with the sauce and to heat through.Serve with optional toppings if desired.
