Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 oz soba noodles and cook for 5-6 minutes until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking, then set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 tsp minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 8 oz sliced shiitake mushrooms to the skillet and stir-fry for 5 minutes until mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp honey, mixing well to combine into a glossy sauce.
  5. Step 5: Add the cooked soba noodles and toss gently to coat evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 3 sliced green onions, 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if desired. Serve warm.
