Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 garlic cloves, peeled, crushed
1 1" piece peeled ginger, thinly sliced
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup dried wakame (optional)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 pound maitake mushrooms, torn into large pieces
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
8 ounces soba (Japanese-style noodles)
4 baby turnips or radishes, trimmed, thinly sliced
4 large egg yolks
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Bring garlic, ginger, and 4 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan; reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Add soy sauce and wakame, if using. Set broth aside.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a large plate.
  • Meanwhile, cook soba in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain. Return reserved broth to a simmer.
  • Divide soba and broth among bowls; top with mushrooms, turnips, and egg yolks. Add scallions and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
