    Living in Los Angeles, it's always either summer or fall weather. We may never experience snow or leaves changing colors but on the plus side, cherry tomatoes are accessible year-round as well as avocados and even strawberries. However, these fruits and vegetables taste infinitely better when it is harvesting time. Today, I'm taking full advantage of the bountiful vegetables we have with summer quickly approaching. Introducing miso lime summer soba noodles: a healthy meal that comes together quickly and still makes you go, "mmm! That is GOOD!"

    **Helpful tips and common mistakes

    These miso lime summer soba noodles are easy to toss together and can easily be substituted to fit what's in season. If you're making this in the summer, bell peppers, zucchini, summer squash, and cherry tomatoes are great. However, if you're craving this in the fall or winter, use what's available. Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and asparagus would all work wonderfully.

    vegetables for stirfry

    The highlight of this dish for me is the miso lime sauce. There are many different types of miso including white miso, yellow, red, barley, and soybean miso, all aged at different lengths. Since we are looking for subtle flavors, white miso is the best way to go.

    miso sauce

    Whisk the miso together with sriracha, mirin, rice vinegar, lime, and sesame oil. Every ingredient offers a different flavor; combined, they create a well-balanced and delicious sauce.

    saute vegetables

    Cook the soba noodles and drain them. Shock the noodles in cold water to stop them from cooking and toss them with sesame oil. The oil will prevent the noodles from clumping together. Set the noodles aside while you prepare the rest of the dish.

    toss with noodles

    Next, saute the bell pepper, zucchini, and summer squash along with the aromatics. If your pan is small, cook the vegetables in batches. Once softened, add the cherry tomatoes and spinach and saute for another minute.

    Add the soba noodles and toss everything together with the miso lime sauce. Finally, add fresh chopped cilantro and scallions.
