3 cups broccoli florets, with short stems (about 1/2 lb crowns)
2 carrots, cut into thin diagonal slices (2 c)
5 ounces soba noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, sliced crosswise (6 oz each)

directions

Bring large pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli, carrots, and noodles. Cover and cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain, transfer to medium bowl, and cover loosely with wax paper.
Heat olive oil, ginger, and garlic in wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until garlic starts to turn golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chicken, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir-fry 4 to 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Add scallions and stir-fry 1 minute.
Stir in noodles, veggies, and broth and heat through. Sprinkle each portion with 2 tablespoons of the cashews.

This is a very beautiful recipe. I love all the ingredients, so I knew I'd love it. I would make a change though. I'd add the soba noodles to the boiling water first, then add the vegetables for a couple of minutes. I found my veggies to be a little too "done" for a stir fry. Also, I think this serves more than 4....it made quite a lot! The presentation is beautiful, and if you get a bite of cashew with each bite, it is salty enough. Otherwise sprinkle a little more soy on it. Quick and easy weeknight meal!
