Bok Choy and Wild Mushroom Miso Soba Bowl

2014_06_11

This had three of Ellie’s favorites: tofu, mushrooms, and noodles. She wouldn’t eat the bok choy, but handled everything else. Not too bad I guess. And Aya said it tasted like Japan so I counted that as a compliment too.

This recipe is only for two, so make adjustments accordingly. I also used 4 tablespoons of miso instead of the 2-3 in the recipe.

RECIPE:

Bok Choy and Wild Mushroom Miso Soba Bowl

Soba Noodles (蕎麦)

You can find a lot of innovative pasta recipes now using soba noodles, but traditionally, it’s eaten plain with a dipping broth. We had two broths, one being the typical soy sauce based “men-tsuyu”(麺つゆ) and the other a walnut and miso based one Aya’s mom bought to try. She topped the noodles with sesame seeds and nori seaweed. This was so simple and delicious.

All you do is boil the noodles according the directions on the package, and then dip them in the sauce. (The sauce we had came with the noodles).
