Soba Noodle Salad With Charred Portobello Mushrooms

This is definitely one for the healthy mob – soba noodles are saintly. Make sure you leave the mushrooms cooking until they are dark and gnarly – they bring the depth of flavour here.

Method
Step 1

Cook the soba noodles according to the packet instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water (to stop them overcooking).

Finely slice the portobello mushrooms and add to a frying pan with a splash of olive oil. Add a tablespoon of soy sauce, and cook the mushrooms until they begin to char. Remove from the heat.

Step 3

Grate the carrots and red cabbage, and finely slice a red pepper. Mix with the noodles.

Step 4

Sauce time. Whisk together 2 tbsp of soy sauce, the juice of a lime and a tbsp of sriracha. Add 3 tbsp of sesame oil while whisking.

Step 5

Combine the dressing and the noodles, top with mushrooms and sprinkle over the nori seaweed (broken into little pieces) and a handful of chopped coriander.
