Soba Noodle Stir-Fry

Have you all been introduced to the 5,000+ recipes from Joy of Kosher? There are so many on there, I don't have time to sift through them all!! They have a magazine with great articles, a blog, and countless articles you can look through! I'm always a sucker for a good Asian dish, and came across the Soba noodle stir-fry and couldn't help myself! The only drawback I came across was that the amount of oil that goes into the vinaigrette, in my personal opinion was too oily. Next time we make it, I'm going to reduce the oil, you make it how you want to though! It still tasted great! Let's get started...

Ingredients
Vinaigrette
1/2 c rice vinegar
1/4 c soy sauce
1 TB minced ginger
2 tsp. sesame oil
1/4 c olive oil

Stir-Fry
1 TB canola or olive oil
1 carton fresh mushrooms sliced
1 TB minced ginger root
1 clove minced garlic
1/3 c green onions
2 TB tasted sesame seeds
salt & pepper
1 pkg. dried soba noodles

To start out, you're going to want to mix all the ingredients to the vinaigrette together and set aside.

Heat the oil in a large skillet and saute the mushrooms over medium heat. After a few minutes add a pinch of salt, the minced ginger root, and garlic and turn the heat to low and allow to heat through for a couple more minutes! By this time. you should be smelling the ginger and garlic aromas throughout the whole house! YUM! Stir in the pepper, 3 TB of the vinaigrette, and I added some green onion just because! Mix all this together and turn off the heat!

Cook the noodles according to the package directions (it took about 3 minutes once we added the noodles to the boiling water). Drain the noodles, run cold water over them and add them to a serving bowl.

Mix in the stir-fry and the remaining vinaigrette and garnish with the sesame seeds! Not too much work goes into this delicious meal, and the best part is you can eat it hold or cold. Either way tastes great, so you can make this ahead of time then pop it in the fridge and serve it later!

Stay tuned for some delicious baked ziti pasta, and until then...
