Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Cauliflower over Soba Noodles

 

Ingredients:

 

8 oz. package Soba Noodles

1 medium-large head cauliflower

1 medium handful of sun-dried tomatoes

2 cloves of garlic, minced

Salt & pepper to taste

3/4 tsp. basil

1/2 tsp. marjoram or savory

2 Tbsp. oil (optional)

 

Instructions:

 

1. Soak sun-dried tomatoes in water for 10 minutes, then dice into very

small pieces. Break up the cauliflower into bite size pieces.

2. In a large skillet or pan add 1/4 cup water or 2 Tbsp. oil. Add garlic,

cauliflower and tomatoes, salt and spices. Add small doses of water if you

need to - if the pan is really dry and things start to stick. Do not

overcook. When the cauliflower becomes tender, remove from heat. Serve over

cooked soba noodles. This goes exceptionally well with Garlic Arame as a

topping.

Garlic Arame

 

Ingredients:

 

Small handful dry arame soaked in 1 cup water

3-4 cloves garlic

1/2 tsp. finely diced ginger (opt.)

1-2 Tbsp. olive oil

1-2 Tbsp. soy sauce

 

Instructions:

 

1. Soak arame for at least 5 minutes, drain, and squeeze out excess water.

2. Heat oil in a small frying pan, on medium heat. Add the ginger and

garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.

3. Add the drained arame. When this has cooked for several minutes, add the

soy sauce. Stir and continue cooking until the arame is slightly dry and

crunchy.

4. Sprinkle sparingly on Cauliflower and Sun-Dried Tomatoes over Udon. The

excess water makes a nice meal for plants if you have no further use for it.
