Description

Soba noodles with shiitake mushrooms, asparagus, scallions, and nori tossed in a home-made ponzu sesame dressing. Soba noodles are Japanese buckwheat noodles—healthy and delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1 package (10-13 Oz. Package) Soba Noodles
  • 1 bunch Asparagus, Sliced
  • 8 ounces, weight Shiitake Mushrooms, Stemmed And Sliced
  • ¼ cups Lemon Juice
  • ¼ cups Rice Vinegar
  • 3 Tablespoons Sesame Oil
  • 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce (1 Tablespoon For Sautéing, 2 Tablespoons For The Dressing)
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • ½ cups Scallions, Diced
  • 1 whole Sheet Of Nori (Roasted Seaweed)

Preparation

1. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Boil the soba noodles until al dente, about 5-10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.

2. In a greased non-stick pan, sauté the mushrooms and asparagus with 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Set aside on a plate to let cool.

3. In a bowl, mix lemon juice, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce until the sugar is dissolved. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss the soba noodles, mushrooms, asparagus, and scallions with the sauce.

4. Cut the nori into 4 equal pieces length-wise. Cut across the short width of each nori strip in little pieces about 1 cm thick. Place on top of the salad to garnish (see photo).

Substituted snow peas for asparagus and added some silken tofu. A really yummy dish, the lemon keeps it light and fresh. I’ll be using the ponzu sauce recipe a lot I think!

This is very tasty. I used half the sugar and thought it was perfect. I’ll definitely make this again.

Very easy and delicious – definitely made enough for two of us plus leftovers. Next time I might try adding marinated tofu to add a protein so it can be a main dish.
