Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams soba noodles
- 200 grams shiitake mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 minced garlic clove
- 2 stalks, sliced thinly green onions
- 100 grams edamame, shelled
- 1 medium, julienned carrot
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the soba noodles, and cook according to package instructions (usually about 5-6 minutes). Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shiitake mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender and lightly browned. Sprinkle with a small pinch of salt and set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, honey, minced garlic, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Whisk together until the mixture is well blended. Set the dressing aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked soba noodles, sautéed mushrooms, edamame, julienned carrot, and sliced green onions.
Pour the dressing over the noodle mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top and serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving for a more refreshing salad.
