The other day I got the thought in my head that I wanted to make a dish with soba (buckwheat) noodles. A quick search on the web resulted in finding a pretty yummy-looking recipe on Whole Food's website. This dish came together in about 20 minutes.
Soba Noodles (adapted from the above-mentioned Whole Foods recipe)
makes 2+ servings
1/2 package (4 oz) soba noodles
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms
1 red pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 clove garlic, finely minced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
1 cup organic veggie broth
1 1/2 tablespoons tamari sauce
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
6 green onions, diced
1/2 cup snow peas
2 tablespoons unsalted roasted peanuts, roughly chopped (optional)
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the soba noodles in the boiling water for 6-8 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat 1 T of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the mushrooms, red pepper, garlic, and ginger, and saute for 3 minutes.
4. Add in the veggie broth, tamari sauce, and balsamic vinegar, and simmer for 3 more minutes.
5. Stir in the cilantro, green onion, and snow peas. Cook for 3 more minutes, or until the snow peas are a vivid green color.
6. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to combine. Serve immediately or allow to cool to room temperature before serving.
7. Garnish each plate of noodles with chopped roasted peanuts.
