Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup adzuki beans -- dried

1 teaspoon dried red chili flakes

2 bay leaves

1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms

2 cups hot water

1 1/2 cups mustard greens -- about 2 bunches

2 tablespoons roasted sesame oil

3 medium cloves garlic -- minced

1 medium onion -- diced

2 tablespoons fresh ginger root -- grated

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 pound linguine -- or lasagnette, dried

 

Soak the beans several hours or overnight. Drain and cover with fresh water in a

large stockpot. Add the chili flakes and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and cook,

adding water occasionally as needed, 40 minutes. Beans should be tender but not

so soft they break apart easily. Drain the beans and set aside.

 

 

Meanwhile, soak the mushrooms in the hot water about 45 minutes. Lift them out

of the water, reserving the soaking liquid and wash carefully under a thin

stream of running water to remove any grit in the membranes. Remove the tough

stems and sliver the caps. Drain the soaking liquid through a paper coffee

filter into a bowl. You will have about 1 1/2 cups, which you will use in the

sauce. Set aside.

 

 

Wash the greens carefully, discard the thick part of the stems and chop

coarsely. bring several quarts of water to a boil and cook the pasta until al

dente. Meanwhile, in a high-walled skillet or stockpot, heat the oil and saute

the garlic and onion about 5 minutes, until the onion begins to get limp. Add

the beans, ginger, and soy sauce, and stir and saute 5 minutes longer. Add the

greens and the mushroom soaking liquid. Toss and stir often as the greens steam

and most of the liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes. Gently combine the sauce

with the hot noodles in a warm serving bowl. Pass the pepper grinder and

additional soy sauce, if desired.

AuthorNote: " Adzukis are tiny, red, protein-packed beans from the Orient. They

are available in most Asian markets and natural food stores. For a Far East

feast, begin the meal with a very simple miso broth and end with tea and almond

cookies. "
