Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 8 oz dried soba noodles and cook for 5-6 minutes until just tender but still firm. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking; set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until tender and slightly browned. Push mushrooms to the side of the wok.
Step 4: Add the drained soba noodles and 3 sliced green onions to the wok. Pour over 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp rice vinegar, tossing everything together for 2 minutes until noodles are heated through and coated in sauce.
Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes if using. Toss gently and serve immediately.
