This is a recipe from 15 Minute Vegetarian by Susann Geiskopf-Hadler.

It took me 23 minutes to execute since Julia kept wanting to "help" and her idea of helping me snap the ends off the snap peas was to stand on a chair beside me, dunk her alloted play peas around in water for a while, stuff them down garbage disposal and then try to steal my peas when I wasn’t looking.

It was ok,  but both Paul and I think it needs some work. Perhaps chili paste to make it kickier.


 

  • 12 oz buckwheat soba noodles
  • 1 cup grated carrot
  • 1 packet snap peas
  • 1 cup dry shiitake mushrooms, reconstituted, and chopped. Soaking water reseved. 
  • 1 tsp veggie bouillion + enough water to make the mushroom soaking water be 1 cup.
  • 3 tbs tahini
  • 1 tbs soy sauce
  • 1 tbs rice vinegar
  • pinch cayenne pepper
