Especially if you want extra flavor. I also put in cucumbers, also wonderful.
Not bad. Very quick and easy for my lazy Sunday. I had zero peppers, which is odd, but that's how it goes. I just added raw silken tofu. Twas satisfying. Cheers. :)
Very good. I had everything on hand except the pepper which I skipped (not a vegi my family likes much) I also subbed in Chineese noodles for the soba without thinking about soba usually being fresh while my noodles were dried so I ended up with more noodles than the recipe intended. It was still very good. Pretty easy. Good main dish for the vegi family members while also a good side dish for the omnis.
Good recipe - though I made it with leftover Chinese noodles. ;) Instead of tofu I used emping for a topping, which went very well with it! I'm guessing chopped nuts would be a great addition too.

Pretty good. It was kind of sweet/salty/tart, and wasn't too heavily seasoned, which is good. I normally just eat cold soba with tsuyu, but this was a nice change, and seasonings went well with the vegetables.
