Use your favorite sesame ginger marinade for this recipe. Look for marinades in the dressings and condiments aisle of your supermarket.

A Japanese favorite, soba noodles get their brownish gray color from buckwheat flour, a whole-grain flour. Uncooked soba noodles can be found in the Asian food section of the supermarket.
