Note 1 - soba noodles are available in supermarkets in Australia and the US, and many good Asian supermarkets. They usually come in 3 portions, 90g/3.5oz is one portion of soba noodles.
Note 2 - I am in love with grape seed oil at the moment and used that. Any other flavourless oil will do such as vegetable or canola oil. I haven't tried olive or coconut oil. I imagine olive oil may be a little too strong and coconut oil will give it a coconut flavour.
Note 3 - I prefer steaming to boiling as it holds the nutrients better. Steaming will only take a few minutes for crunchy, crisp vegetables.
Note 4 - One thing I've learnt, is that you really need to watch the cooking of the noodles. They take about 4 minutes and boil over so easily! Don't make that mistake, it's a lot of cleaning up.
Note 5 - Julienne means to cut up kind of like matchsticks!
Note 6 - to make a 'cleaner' sauce with less sugar, substitute the sweet chili for regular chili, and the sugar for coconut sugar.
