Soba Noodles with Mushrooms, Edamame, and Snow Peas

For dinner last night, I was inspired to make these soba noodles from a post by Hip Foodie Mom.

I love soba (buckwheat) noodles’ unique taste, so I used a few ingredients merely to enhance the flavor of these noodles.

What You’ll Need

8 ounces soba noodles

1 cup chopped shiitake mushrooms

1/2 cup fresh (or frozen) edamame (out of the pods)

2 large handfuls of snow peas

1/3 cup finely chopped scallions

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce

1 wok or large frying pan

Directions
1) Cook soba noodles in boiling water. (Follow cook time on back of packet).
2) Heat olive oil in wok or frying pan under medium heat. Put mushrooms in and cook for 2 minutes.
2) Add the snow peas and sesame oil and cook for another 2 minutes.
3) Stir in the edamame (if using frozen edamame, boil them first).
4) Pour in the soba noodles and mix with the vegetables. Add soy sauce and scallions. Cook for 1 more minute stirring frequently.

This recipe serves 4 people.

Enjoy!
