1. Buckwheat Noodles with Shiitake Mushrooms, Bok Choy, Ginger, and Scallions
2. adaped from Annie Sommerfield's _Fields_of_Greens_
3. I*highly* recommend this cookbook, although it is decidedly on the gourmet side with high prep times
4. 2 Tablespoons light vegetable oil or possibly peanut oil omitted; see NOTE at end
5. Set a large pot of water on the stove to boil.
6. Remove the mushroom stems and cut the caps into 1/2-inch slices.
7. (The stems can be saved for stock.)
8. For small heads of bok choy, slice the stem lengthwise, leaving leaf and stem together.
9. For a large head, slice the stems diagonally, 3/4 inch thick, and slice the leaves into 2-inch-wide ribbons.
10. When the water boils, add in 1 tsp.
11. salt.
12. Add in the noodles and cook as directed on the package, about 8 to 10 min.
13. While the pasta is cooking, heat the vegetable oil see NOTE below
14. in a large saute/fry' pan; add in the shiitake mushrooms and 1/4 tsp.
15. salt.
16. Saute/fry' over medium heat for 3 to 4 min, then add in the garlic, ginger, chilies sic, and bok choy and saute/fry' for 2 min.
17. Drain pasta in a colander when it is just tender 8 min worked fine for me.
18. Reduce the heat under the saute/fry' pan and add in the scallion, sesame oil, mirin, and soy sauce.
19. Quickly add in the noodles, taking care not to overcook the bok choy.
20. Remove from the heat, toss the noodles with the vegetables and cilantro, and season with salt to taste.
21. Sprinkle with the sesame seed.
22. SERVES TWO TO FOUR
