Dinner Tonight: Minced Pork With Soba Noodles Recipe

• 2 tablespoons Canola oil
• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 10 shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, caps finely chopped
• 3 medium shallots, diced
• 3 tablespoons sake
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 stalks scallions, ends trimmed, and chopped
• 2 packages of soba

1. Pour the oil into a large wok or skillet set over high heat. When hot, add the pork. Stir well, and cook until there is no more pink, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the pork with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2. Add the mushrooms and shallots. Stir well, and cook them until soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Turn down heat if they look like they will burn.
3. Add the pork back to the wok. Pour in the sake, and dislodge any browned bits on the bottom with a wooden spoon. When the sake has evaporated add the soy sauce. Cook for 1 minute, then turn off the heat.
4. Meanwhile, cook the soba noodles according to the directions on the pack. Drain, but do not rinse.
5. Serve the pork mixture atop the noodles. Garnish with scallions.
