Weeknight soba supper

"More noodles, more noodles, more noodles, more noo-"

Oh. Hi. I made more noodles last night. Here they are:




Ingredients:
- 1 bundle of soba noodles
- piece of frozen unagi (smoked eel) or whatever other protein you have handy (gotta get your protein, you know)
- 3 scallions, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- handful thin asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
- handful of spinach
- 2 portobello mushroom caps, sliced
- 1 tbsp. oyster sauce
- 1 - 2 tsp. sesame oil
- 2 tbsp. soy sauce
- canola oil


(Disregard that egg up there. I found I did not need him. He is still sitting at home, in the refrigerator, being an egg.)

First, bring a large pot of water to boil and cook your soba noodles. Drain them and set them aside.

Heat your wok up, add a little canola oil, and saute the garlic and scallion whites. Add in the mushroom pieces and the asparagus, along with the oyster sauce and soy sauce. Saute this only a couple minutes - just enough to soften the asparagus. Dump in your soba noodles and spinach. Drizzle in the sesame oil. Saute another couple of minutes to combine everything.



Serve topped with unagi and scallion greens. Delish! And so easy (..to think I was going to nom a frozen burrito... ha!)
