Edamame and Soba Noodle Bowl with Dulse and Nori 毛豆與海苔蕎麥麵

This was another very quick and easy dish that I whipped up during my terrible flu. It's simple, but still rich in vitamins C, B, K, protein, amino acids, and minerals, which gave me the energy I needed to fight the flu. It took me literally just 10 minutes to make it, with almost no preparation at all. It's super light, delicious, and would make a perfect quick lunch for anyone who doesn't have time. If you have an extra few minutes, steam some vegetables to serve with the noodles, which would make your meal even healthier! So keep some frozen shelled edamame, buckwheat noodles and dried sea vegetables in your house. You never know when they'll come in handy!

 
Edamame and Soba Noodle Bowl with Dulse and Nori (2 servings)


4 oz buckwheat noodles

1/2 C frozen shelled edamame

2 t extra virgin olive oil

A: 1 1/2 t   soy sauce
    1 t        mirin
    1 t        toasted sesame oil

B: 1 1/2 t   dulse flakes
    1 1/2 t   toasted sesame seeds

1 sheet of nori


*T = tbsp, t = tsp, C = cup


1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the edamame to the boiling water. Cover and cook for about 2 minutes. Take them out and sprinkle with a little sea salt and set aside.

2. Add the buckwheat noodles and cook them according to the instruction on the package.

3. While the noodles are cooking, take a pair of scissors and cut the nori sheets into thin strips - about 2" long and 1/4" wide. (See photos below)

4. When the noodles are cooked, strain them and reserve about 2 T of the liquid.

5. Return the noodles to the pot with the reserved liquid and the edamame. Add a little bit of sea salt, extra virgin olive oil and mix well. *Be careful not to season too much. You'll be adding soy sauce and the dulse flakes, both of which are salty.

6. Divide the portions into two bowls. Pour over A, then sprinkle B, and top with nori strips. Serve immediately.
