Tips:
Soba is the japanese word for buckwheat. Buckwheat is a low-gi complex carb that will not spike your insulin. The higher the buckwheat content of your noodles, the better – so make sure you read the ingredients.
Check the sodium content of your miso paste so you can be sure to select the one with the least amount of salt.
Pack in some extra veg by adding some sliced spring onion and edamame beans
