- 2 cups Cooked Buckwheat Soba Noodles
- ¾ pounds Fresh Shrimp
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 cup Carrot Sliced Thinly
- 2 cups Cabbage, Sliced

Preparation
1. Prep all the stir-fry ingredients prior to starting to cook. This is cooked at high heat so you will want everything ready to go.
2. Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
3. For the soba noodles: I normally buy packages of dried noodles. Each bundle is 2 ounces and yields a cup of cooked noodles. Bring a covered pot of water to boil with a pinch of salt. Once water is boiling, add soba noodles. Cook for 3-4 minutes or according to package instructions. Drain noodles and set aside.
4. Peel and devein shrimp. I left mine tail-on, but that is optional. Set aside.
5. Heat wok on high heat and once heated add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
6. Add carrots and cabbage into the wok and stir-fry until carrots become tender and cabbage begins to cook down (about 5 minutes). You want to keep this constantly moving. Remove from wok and set aside.
7. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the wok and stir-fry the onion, red bell pepper and garlic until onion becomes translucent (about 2 minutes). Keep this moving around too. Once cooked, remove from wok and set aside.
8. Add remaining oil and stir-fry shrimp for 2-3 minutes. Remove shrimp from wok and set aside.
9. Combine cooked noodles and all the stir-fry ingredients to wok. Add ½ of the sauce mixture to this. Let this cook down before adding more. I added the remaining ½ of the sauce at this point, but if stir-fry appears to have enough sauce do not add remaining half (or add as much as you want).
10. Once all the sauce mixture has cooked down, turn off heat and drizzle sesame oil over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds, scallions and cilantro. You may want to squeeze some additional lime over the top for some extra zest.
11. Serve and enjoy!
