Soba, Soups & Sprouts…
by girlinafoodfrenzy
Dinner for one tonight. Sometimes I crave something clean, healthy and simple. With a bit of indulging on the side from time to time, (ahem) it’s nice to make something with a few basic pantry items and good old fashioned H2O from the kettle.
I think Soba Noodles fit this bill!
To start, you’ll need some Soba Noodles & Dried Chinese Mushrooms. I like to add a few drops of sesame oil & a splash of soy sauce in the hot water when boiling the noodles and mushrooms together.
Simply bring to the boil until al dentè and serve with some fresh Bean sprouts, Coriander, sliced Spring onion and crispy asian shallots. Season to taste with a little more soy or sesame oil and you’re done!
Mmm soba noodles always for the bill my friend – delicious pictures
Cheers

Hi Uru, thank you! It’s definitely one of the quickest & tastiest things to throw together. I’m rediscovering old favourites this week. Enjoy!
Yum! I do a version of this at least twice a week, using the same noodles! I had it last night & was going to have it tonight but I picked & picked at my daughters’ dinner & I no be hungry any more
I love these because they’re so versatile, quick & easy! Definitely a time saver and so welcome on these rainy winter nights.
Looks good to me!!
Thanks! It’s always fun revisiting old favourite’s and seeing how they come up for my happy snaps
This looks like a comforting soup with some great fresh ingredients.
It’s a lovely fresh dish and perfect for no fuss meals.
I think I’d rather a piece of those individual wedding cakes from your sister’s shower though with fudge choc frosting
yum!
We have tons of extra fudge in the freezer right now. My Mom is always worried about not having enough
So my sisters will be eating fudge for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the next few weeks.
Such lovely photos!!
Thanks Lily Sue, I wasn’t sure on which photos to use from the soup shot in the end, is it too greedy that I used both
ha ha no!! Use as many photos as you like
Soba soups and salads are always a favorite of mine and, like you said, a happily simple treat to put together.
I agree, everyone loves a time saver and it’s so economical too. We always have a few pantry times on hand and Asian noodles and Soy seem to be popular ones!
Your dinner certainly is simple to prepare and I bet it was delicious.
Thanks Karen, your beautiful Seafood Agnolotti had me feeling the same way!
Jumm I’m seriously considering to print this recipe & hang it in my kitchen as a poster/painting/inspiration.
I’d really like to come over for dinner!
Wow! I’m really flattered
I know a few folks out there make this sort of thing all the time but I just figure a few food happy snaps gets everyone inspired! We’re always cooking this side of the hemisphere!
My reply on your rosti post counts for the Soba too, will pass by my Japanese store today after work!
Still have some Bonito flakes in the closet, never used them before, not sure what I’ll do with them yet..
