By the way, I know the blog is called "Cooking with Oscar" because of my dog Oscar...but now we have a second dog! Her name is Lima and she's a 6 month old german shepherd mix. We love her and she and Oscar get along pretty well! (thankfully! phew!)
<---- Meet Lima, sous chef
Anyway...
I love soba noodles and they're so easy to make. If you like asian food then this is a great vegetarian dish to try. It's a quick, easy and healthy option for any weeknight or weekend.
- 1 package Soba noodles (you can use regular or 100% buckwheat)
- 1 cup snow peas (trimmed and peeled)
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1 cup mushrooms (white or baby bella)
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- juice of 1/2 orange
- 2 tbsp tamari or low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp hot sauce
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- sesame seeds to taste
- 2 tsp minced fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- coconut oil or olive oil for the pan...
Preparation
1. Make noodles according to package direction. [boiling salted water]
2. Make sauce. Whisk: lime juice, orange juice, tamari/soy sauce, hot sauce, sesame oil, ginger, peanut butter] and set aside in a bowl.
3. Heat a skillet with a couple of teaspoons of olive or coconut oil. Add mushrooms until brown and slightly charred. Add snow peas and green onion for a few more minutes. Set aside.
4. Add sauce to the hot pan. If its too thick, reduce with more fresh OJ or some vegetable stock.
5. Add the soba noodles to the sauce. Mix and add the snow peas, mushrooms and green onions back to the pan.
6. Mix sauce, vegetables and noodles very well. Adjust seasoning or liquid accordingly.
7. When serving, top with sesame seeds, some more chopped green onion and a couple of squeezes of lime.
Enjoy!!
