#  Soba Noodle Salad Tossed With Sesame Spicy Fried Mushrooms  


Mushrooms can sometimes get a bit of a bad rap. So to try to get people to see them in a different light, the UK and Ireland Mushrooms Producers group has partnered with top foodie Melissa Hemsley to inspire the nation to cook flavourful food that highlights the versatility of this undervalued ingredient. This fresh salad, complete with zingy pickled cucumbers, should hopefully do just that.

Ingredients

    250g of So Chesnut Mushrooms, organic  

   3 tbsp of black and white sesame seeds  

   2 bundles of buckwheat (Soba) noodles  

   1 fresh chilli, finely chopped or a pinch of chilli flakes  

   2 tsp of maple syrup  

   1 tbsp of coconut oil  

   A big handful fresh coriander, stems finely chopped  

   1 small ripe avocado, chopped or sliced  

   4 spring onions, finely sliced and green bits too  

 



  

 For the quick ‘pickled’ cucumbers  


   ½ a medium cucumber  

   Juice of ½ a lime, slice the rest of the into wedges  

   Sea salt  

 



  

 For the dressing   


   1 big clove of garlic, finely chopped  

   1 tbsp of rice vinegar  

   1 tbsp of tamari or soy sauce  

   2 tsp of toasted sesame oil  

   2 tsp of your favourite chilli sauce  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

Finely slice the cucumber and pop into a small bowl with the lime juice and a pinch of sea salt then scrunch the cucumber so it’s coated. Set aside.



 Step 2 

In a medium bowl, mix all the dressing ingredients together.



 Step 3 

Heat up a large frying pan or wok, melt the coconut oil and roughly slice the mushrooms. Add the mushrooms and let fry on a medium high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring every now and then until the mushrooms release their liquid and they start going golden at the edges. Add the chilli, sesame seeds and maple syrup, stir and let fry with the mushrooms for a final minute.



 Step 4 

Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil and cook the noodles according to packet instructions - typically around 4-5 minutes, drain and immediately rinse with cold water, shake off any excess water, a little water is fine then tip into a medium bowl (in which you have mixed all the dressing ingredients together). You want to mix the noodles with the dressing straight away so that it stops the noodles sticking.



 Step 5 

This salad is great warm or cold from the fridge – just toss everything together with spring onions and coriander and top with the avocado and quickly pickled cucumbers plus the leftover lime sliced into wedges.
