Vegetable Lo Mein with Soba Noodles

Would you believe I had never had soba noodles before?  I bought a pack at the Asian market a few weeks ago and only just got around to trying them.  OMG.  LOVE.  I piled this dish of lo mein FULL of veggies and had a dinner almost as big as my head for just over 400 calories.  Happy tummy.  Makes 2 sane person servings, 1 ginormous one if you’re starving. Servings: 2 at 211.25 calories and 11 grams of fat.  Okay epic fail on my cookbook program for miscalculating that.  It’s actually 2 servings at 364 and 14 grams of fat.
