Wild Mushroom Soba Noodles

Reluctantly, I bought the mushroom mix from Norton Street Grocers today. You do get a good range of mushrooms (shiitake, oyster, shimeji, enoki and swiss brown) but it's a bit expensive for the amount and they should know better than to keep mushrooms under gladwrap as they sweat.

This is a really quick meal to prepare.

Boil the soba with wakame for 3-4 minutes. Pick out the wakame and then refresh the soba in cold water so it doesn't overcook.

While the soba is cooking, fry some grated ginger, garlic and carrot sticks with the mushrooms. Dress the noodles with sesame oil, mirin, soy sauce and furikake (a Japanese topping). Add the mushrooms, toss and that's it. That shouldn't take much longer than 15 minutes so is a great mid-week meal.
