Bok Choy and Shiitake Soba Noodles was a hit at our dinner table, which made me really happy to sneak miso into yet another meal!
Even the non-loving mushroom husband approved of this dish! Noah was a little leery of the bok choy, but it didn’t bother me as he gobbled up the mushrooms! Remember: It may take a toddler 10+ times seeing a new food before they will try it, don’t give up! Hmmm…maybe that trick works on husbands too?
Technically, soba noodles should be gluten free. Remember to read labels because many companies add wheat flour. Look for brands that use 100% buckwheat flour and have the gluten-free label. Vegans beware as well, some brands add egg whites!

I drizzled mine with chili oil, I can’t get enough spicy foods these days!
Try adding other ingredients such as edamame, red peppers, tofu or carrots!
