Luscious pan-grilled shrimp make a satisfying topping for whole-grain soba noodles mixed with crunchy veggies and tangy, probiotic-rich kimchi. Some kimchis are quite mild, while others pack lots of heat; serve kimchi on the side if you’re worried about spiciness. The shrimp and vegetables would also work well with rice in place of the soba noodles. So if you're looking for ways to change it up, cook up a batch of brown rice, or white rice if you prefer, and use that as the base of this tasty dish. The rice will do a great job of soaking up the flavorful sauce of kimchi and sesame oil. Another great feature of this recipe is how quickly it cooks. From prepping to plating, you should be able to get this dinner on the table in 30 minutes.
