Make
- Bring a saucepan of water to boil. Add soba noodles and cook according to packaged instructions. (Soba noodles don’t take long to cook, so keep an eye out.) Drain.
- Whisk together cornstarch and water.
- When noodles are nearly finished cooking, heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then carrots. Saute until carrots are nearly tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add coleslaw mix and white parts of green onions and saute for 2 minutes more.
- Pour stir-fry sauce over top and bring to a simmer. Add corn starch / water mixture, while stirring. Simmer until sauce has thickened slightly, ~2 minutes.

- Serve chicken soba noodles with green parts of green onions on top and lime wedges and hot sauce on the side to use as garnishes. Enjoy!
