Tangy Lemon Noodle Bowl
This delicious and simple noodle bowl is quick to put together, tasty and makes the perfect weeknight dinner! Just like the Sweet Chicken & Vegetable Casserole, dish is full of veggies and thus tons of nutrients!
There are a few things that, without a doubt, are always prepped, cooked and ready to go in my fridge. Those things are: chicken, a grain (rice or quinoa) & beans (any kind).
I do this so that no matter what, some type of dinner can be thrown together in under thirty minutes. The question “what’s for dinner tonight?” is only ever asked half an hour before everyone expects dinner… and this way I always have an answer!
This bowl (which I originally created as a feature for In The Kids Kitchen) comes together in under thirty minutes and is awesome. The flavors together are super tasty and the sauce is miso based – a fermented product which is perfect for improving gut health. While I’ve listed the vegetables I prefer in the meal you can substitute for anything you have in your fridge (peppers, mushrooms, celery etc). I chose to use buckwheat noodles because they’re extremely light which is the opposite of most pasta dishes.
If you’re looking to make this meal vegetarian, simply omit the chicken. Between the edamame and hemp hearts you still have a pretty good protein blend.
Like I said, this bowl is awesome.

Ingredients In Tangy Lemon Noodle Bowl
For The Sauce
- 5 tbs Miso Paste
- 2.5 tbs rice vinegar
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
For The Bowl
- 1 cup frozen & shelled edamame
- 3 large carrots
- 2 green onions
- 2 cooked chicken breasts
- 6 tbs hemp hearts
- 3/4 package buckwheat (soba) noodles
- Lemon zest (optional)
Tips: It is best to julienne the carrots. However, if you chop them in chunks instead, throw them in the steamer with the broccoli so that they cook through The noodles cook extremely fast and tend to boil over. As soon as you add them to the pot, turn the pot to low-medium and keep an eye on it. They will only take about four minutes. I suggest assembling the bowls individually. Placing everything into a skillet and tossing leaves the noodles one big sticky ball.

How To Make This Simple Noodle Bowl
Make the sauce by combining everything into a bowl and whisking until no clumps remain. Set aside.Do your prep. Chop the broccoli into small florets and julienne the carrots. Chop up the chicken and get your water ready for the noodles (add a dash of salt to the water to avoid boiling over).
Place the edamame and broccoli into a steamer and cook until edamame is thawed and broccoli is semi-soft. Heat the water for the noodles and if necessary, heat the chicken in a skillet.
Cook the noodles as per the package and strain when finished. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the noodles and mix so they don’t stick together too much. Divide the noodles into four bowls. Top the noodles with the sauce (as much as preferred) and mix until noodles are covered.
Divide the chicken into the bowls as well as the carrots (which should be raw still). Top with remaining veggies from the steamer. Placing them on top will heat the carrots but keep them crunchy. Finish by adding the hemp hearts, green onions and if you like, some lemon zest to bring out the flavor.
