Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound small skinless, boneless chicken thighs
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
6 slices fresh ginger, lightly smashed, plus 1 tablespoon finely grated
2 scallions, whites cut into 2-inch pieces and greens thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup sugar snap peas
3 carrots
1 9.5-ounce package soba noodles
4 ounces sliced shiitake mushrooms
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Shichimi togarashi (Japanese seasoning) or Asian chili sauce, for topping

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, combine the chicken thighs, chicken broth, sliced ginger, scallion whites, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds pepper in a large saucepan. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, about 8 minutes. Uncover and gently simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 10 more minutes.
  • While the chicken cooks, trim the snap peas and thinly slice. Peel the carrots and halve lengthwise, then thinly slice.
  • Add the soba noodles to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Drain and rinse under warm water, then vigorously shake off the water. Divide among bowls.
  • Using tongs, remove the chicken to a plate. Discard the ginger and scallions from the broth and skim off any foam. Shred the chicken and return to the broth. Add the shiitakes and carrots, return to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the snap peas.
  • Ladle the soup over the noodles. Top with the scallion greens and grated ginger; sprinkle with shichimi togarashi.

Noodle Bowl With Mushrooms, Spinach and Salmon image

I love spinach, barely cooked, in a noodle bowl. Use either bunch spinach from the farmers' market or baby spinach for this one.

Categories     easy, quick, soups and stews, main course

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups kombu stock, chicken stock or vegetable stock
Soy sauce or salt to taste
6 ounces Japanese soba noodles, cooked and tossed with 2 teaspoons sesame oil
6 fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced (simmer stems in stock for 20 minutes, remove them and discard), or 6 cremini mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced
12 to 16 ounces salmon fillet without skin, trimmed of fat and cut into 4 equal pieces
1 large bunch spinach, stemmed, washed in 2 changes of water and coarsely chopped (about 6 cups) or 1 6-ounce bag baby spinach, rinsed
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced, light and dark green parts kept separate Cilantro leaves and sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring the stock to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding soy sauce or salt if desired. If the noodles have been refrigerated, warm them by placing them in a strainer and dipping the strainer into the simmering broth. Then distribute the noodles among 4 deep soup bowls.
  • Add the sliced mushroom caps, the salmon fillets, the spinach and the white and light green parts of the scallions to the simmering stock. Cover and turn off the heat. Allow to sit for 5 minutes without removing the cover. The salmon should be just cooked through. Leave it a little longer if you want it more opaque.
  • Place a piece of salmon on top of the noodles in each bowl. Ladle in the soup, taking care to distribute the spinach, mushrooms and scallions evenly. Sprinkle on the dark green parts of the scallions, garnish with cilantro and serve.

SOBA NOODLES IN BROTH WITH SPINACH AND SHIITAKES



Soba Noodles in Broth With Spinach and Shiitakes image

This dish is inspired by a recipe by Sonoko Kondo in her wonderful book "The Poetical Pursuit of Food" (Clarkson Potter, 1986). Soba noodles represent longevity in Japan because they are long and lean. When you eat them, slurp them without breaking the noodles.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, main course

Time 1h

Yield Four generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ounce kombu seaweed
4 dried shiitake mushrooms
3/4 pound dried soba noodles
12 ounces spinach, stemmed and washed thoroughly, or 1 6-ounce bag baby spinach, rinsed
2 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon sake
2 tablespoons mirin
2 to 4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (to taste)

Steps:

  • Place the kombu and shiitakes in a large bowl, and cover with 4 1/2 cups hot water. Soak for 30 minutes. Place a strainer over a bowl and drain. Squeeze the mushrooms over the strainer, then rinse. Remove the mushroom stems and discard. Slice the caps thinly.
  • Meanwhile, cook the soba noodles. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, add the soba. As the water comes back to a boil, add 1/2 cup of cold water to prevent it from boiling over. Allow to come back to a boil again, and add another 1/2 cup of cold water. Check for doneness, and if necessary bring back to a boil one more time and add another 1/2 cup of cold water. The soba should be tender all the way through but al dente -- slightly firm to the bite. Transfer immediately to the ice water, and allow to cool for a few minutes, then drain.
  • Bring the water back to a boil, salt generously and add the spinach. Blanch for one minute, and transfer to a bowl of ice water. Drain, squeeze out excess liquid, and cut the squeezed bundle of spinach into four pieces.
  • Divide the noodles, spinach, mushrooms and green onions among four large soup bowls. In a saucepan, combine the soaking water from the kombu and mushrooms, the sake, mirin and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasonings. Pour over the ingredients in the soup bowls, and serve at once.
