Tonight's Menu

Warm Mushroom & Eggplant Soba Noodle Salad

1 Pkg. 100% buckwheat Soba Noodles

1 red onion, sliced

2 Tbsp. Ginger/ Garlic paste

1 small package button mushrooms, sliced

15-20 shitake mushrooms, sliced

1 small Eggplant, thinly sliced

2 Tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar

1 tsp. Sesame Oil

3 Tbsp. Soy Sauce ( I use Tamari ) mixed with 1 tsp Sugar

1 tsp. Chili powder

1 Tbsp. Asian chili sauce

1 tsp. Coconut oil

Cook the Soba noodles for approx 3 minutes or until al dente, drain and set aside.
Heat coconut oil and add onions, mushrooms, and eggplants and stir fry until eggplants are tender, add ginger/ garlic paste and stir fry about 2-3 minutes. Add noodles, Tamari, Chili powder, sesame oil,  Chili paste and vinegar. Stir fry 3 minutes and combine well. Serve warm

** I use so much ginger and garlic, that i make my own ginger garlic paste, by crushing heads of garlic and 1 large piece of fresh ginger, and pulsing in a food processor until paste-like consistency.
