A tasty way to get your veggies!
2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1 8-ounce package soba (buckwheat) noodles
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
2-3 drops hot chili oil (La Yu )
8-10 fresh black forest (Shiitake) mushrooms
1 8-ounce can sliced water chestnuts
1 green pepper, cut into julienne strips
1 bunch fresh asparagus, steamed until crisp-tender
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
In a saucepan, heat chicken stock just to boiling (but do not boil.) Add soba noodles and cook until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain. Set aside. (Reserve broth for soup or later use.)
In a wok or heavy skillet, heat sesame oil and chili oil. Add Shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry 4 to 5 minutes. Add water chestnuts and green pepper and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes. Toss with noodles, asparagus and tomatoes. 6 servings.
