We made this as a stir-fry, although the original recipe is for skewers. Both would work great, the sauce can be used for chicken or other seafood, as well as a variety of vege’s. The recommendation is to serve the kebabs over chilled soba noodles tossed with some OJ, sesame oil, and a touch of soy sauce, and chopped green onions.
