📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Prepare the orange roughy fillets by seasoning them lightly with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

2. Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and cut the spears into 2-inch pieces. Slice the cremini mushrooms thinly.

3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, and grated ginger. Set this sauce aside.

4. Cook the buckwheat noodles according to package instructions, usually boiling them in salted water for 6-8 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.

5. In a large steamer or pot with a steaming rack, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and place the seasoned orange roughy fillets in the steamer. Cover and steam for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

6. While the fish steams, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add vegetable broth. Once it simmers, add the asparagus and mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

7. Add the minced garlic to the vegetable mixture and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

8. Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet with the vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

9. Divide the cooked buckwheat noodles among four serving plates. Top each portion with an orange roughy fillet.

10. Spoon the asparagus, mushrooms, and sauce mixture over the fish and noodles.

11. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
