GREEN TEA BROTH WITH UDON NOODLES (MARK BITTMAN)



Green Tea Broth With Udon Noodles (Mark Bittman) image

From Mark Bittman's cookbook, "How to Cook Everything Vegetarian". With its somewhat savory taste, the resulting soup is elegant in both simplicity and speed; and the list that follows shows the ways to embellish and intensify the flavor. Some are garnishes to serve over the noodles; others are cooked in the broth to give it more character. And some can go either way. Makes 4 first-course or 2 lunch servings

1/2 cup cubed tofu, added to the broth when the noodles are nearly finished cooking (optional)
1 cup precooked small bean, added to the broth when the noodles are nearly finished cooking (like soybeans, adzuki, edamame, or mung) (optional)
4 scrambled eggs, added to the broth when the noodles are nearly finished cooking (optional)
1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger, added to the broth as it simmers (optional)
2 sheets nori, lightly toasted and cut into 1-inch strips, for garnish (optional)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, used as a garnish (optional)
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds (to garnish) (optional)
2 tablespoons nuts, like pistachios, cashews (optional) or 2 tablespoons hazelnuts, toasted and used as a garnish (optional)
1 dab wasabi paste (to garnish) (optional)
1 thinly sliced onion, added to the broth as it simmers or as a garnish (optional)
1 handful of julienned cucumber, added to the broth as it simmers or as a garnish (optional)
1 -2 cup shredded lettuce (optional) or 1 -2 cup cabbage, added to the broth as it simmers or as a garnish (optional)
1 cup mung bean sprouts, added to the broth as it simmers or as a garnish (optional)
2 tablespoons candied ginger, added to the broth as it simmers or as a garnish (omit the mirin or sugar) (optional)

Steps:

  • Put 7 cups water in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let rest for a couple minutes. Stir in the tea leaves (or use a tea ball, cheesecloth, or some other mesh contraption), cover, and steep until fragrant and richly colored, 5 to 10 minutes. Strain the "tea broth" through a strainer and put the tea in a large saucepan. Discard the tea leaves.
  • Bring the tea broth to a boil and sprinkle with salt. Stir in the udon. When the broth returns to a boil, add 2 cups of cold water. When the liquid returns to a boil, turn the heat down so that it bubbles gently without overflowing. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are just tender, usually 5 to 7 minutes, but it could be more depending upon the brand you use. Taste and add more salt, a few grinds of pepper, and the mirin or sugar, if you like, and serve.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 halibut fillets (6 ounces each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 cup quinoa
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 piece fresh ginger (about 2 inches), peeled and finely chopped
1 baby bok choy (6 ounces), thinly sliced lengthwise
1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
1/2 cup snow peas, strings removed, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 cup brewed green tea
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon honey
3 scallions, sliced on the diagonal
Basil leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season halibut with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups salted water to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Cook fillets until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove fillets from pan (reserve pan with any oil in it). Place fish in an ovenproof dish and bake 8 to 10 minutes or until just cooked through (a paring knife will easily go through fish).
  • To pan, add ginger, bok choy, edamame, shiitakes, and snow peas; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes or until the shiitakes begin to soften. Add green tea, soy sauce, and honey. Cook until edamame are tender, about 3 minutes longer. Add scallions to pan. Place some broth and vegetables in each of 4 shallow bowls. Top with fish fillet and garnish with basil leaves.
  • Season quinoa with salt, if necessary, and serve on the side in separate serving bowls.
