Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 bunch (about 6) scallions, greens and whites separated, cut into 1/4-inch slices
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, caps cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 tablespoons sake
1/4 cup grated ginger
1/4 cup sliced water chestnuts
6 ounces sugar snap peas, strings removed
1/2 medium green cabbage, cut in half, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Heat oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add garlic and scallion whites; cook about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms; stir to coat. Stirring occasionally, cook mushrooms until tender, about 3 minutes. Add sake; scrape up any browned bits on bottom of pan. Stir in grated ginger and any accumulated ginger juice. Add 8 cups water; bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer; stir in chestnuts, snap peas, and cabbage. Add noodles; stir, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes.
