Italian-Asian Soba Noodles


Ever have one of those days where you’ve been so focused you forget to prepare a delicious meal? More often than you ’d like to admit? Don’t let that ruin your relationship with your tummy. This recipe was born out of me staring at my shelves knowing I had to work with what was in front of me and voila! Italian-Asian Noodles were born. Olive oil and red wine aren’t the first two thoughts when soba noodles come to mind, but trust me—it works. Feel free to add a protein such as tofu or chicken to make for a hearty meal.
1 package pre-cooked soba noodles*
1 T red chili infused extra virgin olive oil
2 T soy sauce
2 T red wine (suggested Pinot Noir)
1 t fresh grated ginger
1 t garlic powder
1 t Sriracha Sauce
1 fresh egg
drizzle sesame oil
cilantro for garnish
Using a non-stick saute pan, place olive oil and noodles into the pan on medium heat to break up the soba. Add 2 T of soy sauce and 1 T of red wine plus the ginger**. Continue to mix, covering the noodles until they loosen. Let the red wine burn off and add garlic powder and Sriracha Sauce. Add extra T of red wine and let cook for 1 minute. Crack egg over the noodles and mix quickly to cover everything. Turn off the heat once the egg is cooked placing a drizzle of seasme oil over top. Place in bowl and add additional soy sauce if desired and garnish with cilantro.
*pre-cooked soba noodles can be found at most grocery stores in the refridgerated section
** handy trick to peeling ginger. Forget the peeler, grab a spoon. Drag the top edge of the spoon face down along the root and the skin will peel right off!
