Ingredients
Scale
Teriyaki Sauce
- 50ml low-sodium soy sauce
- 50ml mirin
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1½ tbsp caster sugar
Main Ingredients
- 200g soba noodles
- 140g thin-stemmed broccoli
- 140g cooked prawns
- 1 small red chilli, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Prepare 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 simmer gently for 5 minutes until it thickens into a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook Noodles and Vegetables: Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and thin-stemmed broccoli to the boiling water and cook for about 3 minutes. Add the cooked prawns to the saucepan just a few seconds before draining to warm them through without overcooking.
- Drain and Plate: Drain the noodles, broccoli, and prawns thoroughly. Divide the mixture evenly between two plates.
- Dress and Garnish: Pour the warm teriyaki sauce evenly over the noodles, broccoli, and prawns. Sprinkle the sliced red chilli on top to add a subtle spicy note. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Using low-sodium soy sauce helps control salt levels while maintaining flavor.
- Cook prawns briefly by warming them in the noodle water to keep them tender.
- Soba noodles can be substituted for whole wheat or rice noodles if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of red chilli to taste for desired heat level.
- For a gluten-free option, ensure the soy sauce and mirin used are certified gluten-free.
