Best 5 Soba Noodles With Shiitakes And Broccoli Recipes

SPICY SOBA NOODLES WITH SHIITAKES AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Stir together all sauce ingredients until brown sugar is dissolved, then set aside.
• Toast sesame seeds in a dry 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over medium heat, stirring, until pale golden, then transfer to a small bowl.
• Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté ginger and garlic, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shiitakes and sauté, stirring frequently, until tender and starting to brown, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, then add cabbage and most of scallions (reserve about a tablespoon for garnish) and cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Add sauce and simmer 2 minutes.
• While cabbage is cooking, cook soba and edamame together in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) until noodles are just tender, about 6 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cool water to stop cooking and remove excess starch, then drain well again. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with sesame seeds and vegetable mixture. Serve sprinkled with reserved scallions.

SOBA NOODLES WITH SHIITAKES, BROCCOLI AND TOFU

Steps:

• Combine stock, soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, sugar and salt to taste in a small bowl. Stir until sugar and salt dissolve. Combine garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes or minced chile in another bowl.
• Bring a large saucepan or pot of water to a boil, add salt to taste and baby broccoli. As soon as water comes back to a boil (about 1 minute), use a skimmer to remove broccoli and transfer it to a bowl of cold water. Drain in a colander, then on paper towels. Cut stems away from florets and slice about 1/2 inch thick. Bring water back to a boil and cook soba. Drain and toss with 2 teaspoons sesame oil.
• Place all ingredients within reach of your wok. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil and add tofu. Stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes, until it begins to color, and remove to a plate. Add remaining oil and garlic, ginger and chile. Stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds and add mushrooms. Stir-fry for 1 minute and add broccoli and the light parts of the scallions. Stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes. Add the noodles, tofu and the stock mixture. Reduce heat to medium and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes. Add cilantro and the dark green part of the scallions, stir-fry another 30 seconds to a minute, until well combined, and serve.

SOBA NOODLES WITH SHIITAKES AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Remove the stems from the shiitakes and discard. (Though edible, the stems are usually tough.) Slice the mushrooms lengthwise into 3/4-inch pieces. Cut off the broccoli stems, then peel and slice them thinly. Break up the clusters of broccoli florets into small pieces.
• In a large pot, bring four quarts of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook for three to four minutes. Drain, rinse in cold water and set aside.
• Pour one-eighth cup of oil into a wok or large skillet, add half the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds. Add the broccoli stems and stir-fry for one to two minutes, then add the florets and cook for one minute more. Pour in one-half cup of water or beef stock, cover and cook over medium-high heat until the broccoli is tender but crisp, about three to four minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Pour one-eighth cup of oil into the skillet and turn the heat up to high. Add the remaining garlic and ginger and all the shiitakes. Stir-fry for about five minutes, then add the sherry. Once the sherry evaporates, add the beef stock, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and return the broccoli mixture and noodles to the skillet, gently tossing them with the other ingredients until they are hot. Sprinkle with scallions. Serve hot or at room temperature.

SOBA NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oven (or a toaster oven) to 300. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In another large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil; stir in the bonito flakes, turn off the heat and steep for 10 minutes, no more. Strain into a large bowl; discard the flakes.
• Put the soy sauce, mirin, sugar and a pinch of salt in the pot you used to make the broth; bring to a boil. Let it boil for a minute, then add the bonito stock; bring it back to a boil, and transfer 6 cups to a separate pot and keep hot. (This will be the broth for the soup; what remains is for cooking the eggs.) Toast the nori in the oven until slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Cut into quarters and set aside. Crack the eggs into a bowl or a large measuring cup with a spout and beat until frothy.
• Cook the noodles in the boiling water until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes, then drain, quickly rinse under cold running water and drain again. Put a portion of noodles into each of four soup bowls. Using a circular pouring motion, slowly stream the eggs, 1/3 at a time, into the smaller amount of boiling broth; as the first third sets, add the second; as the second sets, add the third, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit for a minute. In the meantime ladle the stock (the one without the eggs in it) over the noodles. Use a slotted spoon to scoop a portion of the egg into each bowl, garnish with the nori and scallions and serve.
