This makes a great vegetarian main course salad or side dish served with grilled meat. Since pea shoots are not as tender as pea tendrils, they are cooked before eating.
Ingredients
- 1 pkg (8 oz/250 g) soba noodles, (Japanese buckwheat noodles)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vegetabIe oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 10 oz shiitake mushrooms, stemmed & sliced
- 12 oz snow pea shoots, (about 8 cups/2L)
- 1/3 cup light mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sodium-reduced soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp hot sauce or sambal oelek, (optional)
Preparation
In large pot of boiling water, cook soba noodles, stirring gently, until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water; drain well and transfer to large bowl.
In wok or large skillet, heat half each of the sesame and vegetable oils over medium-high heat; sautee garlic until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
Add mushrooms; sautee until tender, about 4 minutes. Add to noodles.
In wok, heat remaining oils; stir-fry pea shoots until wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Add to noodle mixture.
Whisk together mayonnaise, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and sambal oelek (if using); pour over noodle mixture, tossing to coat. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
