Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

2 teaspoons kuzu powder

or other vegetarian thickener

4 teaspoons cold vegetable stock or water

3 tablespoons shoyu or natural soy sauce -- (3-4)

1 tablespoon peanut oil

8 scallions -- sliced thin on a diagonal

4 large cloves garlic -- minced

1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger

1 large carrot -- julienned

1 medium kohlrabi -- peeled and julienned

1/2 cup julienned daikon radish

8 fresh shiitake mushrooms -- stemmed and sliced thin

1 cup vegetable stock

6 cups coarsely chopped fresh spinach leaves -- or more

3/4 pound soba noodles -- cooked

2 teaspoons hot chile oil

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

 

Combine the kuzu and cold stock in a small bowl and set aside for a few minutes,

until dissolved. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the shoyu.

 

Set a wok over high heat. Pour the peanut oil around the rim and swirl it to

coat the pan. Add the scallions, garlic, and ginger and stir-fry briefly. Add

the carrot and continue stir-frying, gradually adding the kohlrabi, daikon, and

shiitakes.

 

Add the stock and bring it to a simmer. Cover the wok and steam briefly, until

the vegetables are tender. Add the spinach, noodles, hot chile oil, and kuzu

mixture. Stir gently until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.

Mix in the cilantro and add more shoyu, to taste. Serve immediately.

 

TIP: To cook the noodles evenly, bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil, add

the noodles, and cook, stirring frequently, until the water returns to a boil;

then add a cup of cold water to the pot. Repeat this process about two times

more, or until the noodles are tender. Drain the noodles and immediately add

them to the wok or plunge them into cold water and drain them again.
