My veggies and buckwheat dish is a go-to summer dish and it is super simple to make. Chop up any leftover veggies that you might have in the fridge – I like to use romaine lettuce, cabbage and peppers. This is a great way to add extra nutrients to your diet, so do not be shy to throw in extra veggies. 
Then I boil my buckwheat noodles! These noodles are a powerful gluten-free alternative to regular noodles because they are high in fiber and are nutrient rich. I also have a hard time finding gluten-free alternatives that taste yummy, but buckwheat noodles are delicious! 
I add in a hardboiled egg, vinegar, sesame oil and Gochujang for a kick. You can add your own variation to this gut friendly recipe!
