Stir-Fried Greens with Cremini Mushrooms and Soba

I’ve made this dish successfully with all kinds of greens, but I like tender baby spinach and bok choy derivatives the best. Keep in mind that you want a touch of water clinging to the greens, but not so much that they’ll swim when they’re wilting.

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces soba noodles
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 3/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger, peeled and minced
  • 3 cloves garlic (1 clove minced, 2 cloves thinly sliced)
  • 2 teaspoons peanut oil
  • 1 pound greens (baby spinach, regular spinach, you choy, baby bok choy, etc.)
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed, and sliced

Instructions

  • Cook soba noodles according to package directions. Drain, and rinse briefly under cool water to prevent clumping, and drain. Set aside.
  • Whisk together sesame seeds, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
  • Heat a wok or large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add peanut oil and sliced garlic.  Stir-fry until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the greens. Depending on the size of your wok, you may need to work in batches. Stir-fry 4 minutes, or until greens are wilted, any water clinging to the leaves has evaporated, and any stalks are crisp-tender. (If too much water collects, carefully spoon it out of the pan.)
  • Push the greens to one side, and add the mushrooms. Stir-fry 2 minutes. Add soy sauce mixture, and cooked noodles. Toss to coat, and cook about 1 minute to heat through. Serve immediately.

Sticky-Spicy Sauteed Asian Eggplant

Not everyone is an eggplant lover. But this may change that. Long, slender Asian eggplant are no-fuss, and soak up the spicy, sweet, sticky sauce they’re doused with when creamy and tender. This is a hearty vegetarian main course paired with brown rice, quinoa, or even wheat berries, but would also make a terrific side dish.
