The finished product

Unfortunately you just can't capture FLAVOR in a photo. And you may look at this and think "ick, doesn't look appetizing" but believe me -- it was so delicious!!!

So here are the directions:

Assemble all your ingredients first:
You really choose how much of each thing you want but I will put how much I used.

Two large carrots, peeled and julienned (or sliced into matchsticks)
3 stalks of celery, chopped
one whole bunch of scallions, chopped up.
about 8 mushrooms, sliced
a couple handfuls of fresh bean sprouts
1 bag of broccoli that you can steam in the bag. Poke holes in bag, steam in microwave 3 minutes on high. Set aside.

In a large fry pan over high heat, put a tablespoon of  peanut oil. Let it get hot and throw in the chopped carrots, celery, mushroom, onions and beansprouts. Stir fry for a couple of minutes. Lower heat to med-hi and continue to stir fry for about two minutes or until the veggies are "crisp-tender". Add about a tablespoon of oyster sauce, a spoonful of hoisin, and a couple teaspoons of soy sauce. Cook one more minute. Add a cup of vegetable broth. Remove from heat. Throw in the cooked brocolli and cover the pan. Set aside.

In another pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Cook the Soba noodles for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water. Set aside in the strainer.

Put the veggies in the empty pot that had the soba noodles. Add the chicken broth and put back on heat for a few minutes to get hot. Then add the soba noodles. Squirt a nice bunch of Siracha sauce on top. Put into a bowl to eat. Taste it and if you want to add any additional oyster, hoisin, siracha, or soy sauce, do so according to taste.

I also put a little bit of Asian seasoning and granulated garlic on the veggies when they were stir frying.
I did not add any additional salt as the broth, and the sauces contain enough.

I was amazed at how delicious this was and I ate two huge bowls. I had enough to bring to lunch today. Can't wait to eat it.
