Clean, comforting, and packed with layered flavour—this soba noodle dish balances the warmth of garlic and ginger with the freshness of pak choi and a citrusy lift of lime. Finished with sesame and a hint of chilli, it’s a quick, everyday bowl that still feels thoughtfully put together.

• 250g Blue Dragon Soba noodles
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2cm ginger, finely chopped
• 500g pak choi, chopped
• 2 tbsp Oyster Sauce
• 2 tbsp Sesame Oil
• 1 lime, juiced
• Sesame seeds, toasted
• Red chilli, thinly sliced

1. 1
   Cook the noodles. Boil the soba noodles until just tender but still slightly firm. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking and keep them from sticking. Set aside.
2. 2
   Build the base flavours. Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, sautéing gently for 3–4 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
3. 3
   Cook the greens. Add the chopped pak choi and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until just wilted but still vibrant and slightly crisp.
4. 4
   Combine everything. Toss in the noodles and mix thoroughly with the vegetables. Allow everything to heat through evenly.
5. 5
   Add depth. Stir in the oyster sauce and sesame oil, coating the noodles well to create a glossy, umami-rich finish.
6. 6
   Finish fresh. Remove from heat and squeeze over fresh lime juice to brighten the flavours.
7. 7
   Garnish & serve. Top with toasted sesame seeds and slices of red chilli for a subtle heat and crunch.

• Rinsing soba noodles after cooking prevents clumping and keeps their texture light.
• Do not overcook pak choi—it should stay slightly crisp for the best contrast.
• Add tofu or mushrooms if you want to make this a more filling main course.
