Comments on: spicy soba noodles with shiitakes http://smittenkitchen.com/2007/08/so-good-soba/ Wed, 23 May 2012 04:30:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ashley http://smittenkitchen.com/2007/08/so-good-soba/#comment-1724914 Ashley Mon, 26 Mar 2012 04:45:53 +0000 http://smittenkitchen.com/2007/08/so-good-soba/#comment-1724914 I've been making this dish for a while and finally decided to post and let you know how much I LOVE it!!!! (and your blog, of course). I made this tonight for a work get together/study group and my local store had run out of soba noodles, so I used brown rice maifun (sp?) instead... the really thin rice noodles. It came out great! Less flavor than the soba noodles offer, but still yummy. I also add rice vinegar to the sauce and totally omit the water. The napa and mushrooms let off a fair bit of water so I don't see the need to add more. Thank you for a quick weeknight dish that has friends offering rave reviews... perfect!

It was incredibly tasty. I'd never had soba noodles before and this was a great introduction. Very easy to make. I omitted the mushrooms, since I don't like them, and made everything else the same.

Thanks to those who posted alts to the Korean hot pepper paste b/c I was unable to find it. Regarding liquid -- the cabbage and mushrooms both added liquid (didn't notice how much). I didn't mind b/c it made for a warm brothy dish, which is ok in wintertime... Made this for the 1st time and will definitely repeat!

I had to drain it so as to not overcook the cabbage. Did anyone else encounter this? I made this recipe last night and found that the cabbage let out a tremendous amount of liquid, at least 1 cup.

We followed the recipe exactly except we used green cabbage instead of Napa, thinly sliced button mushrooms instead of shitakes, and since we couldn't find the Korean hot pepper paste, we just followed the directions to lower the amount of soy sauce and added 2-3 teaspoons of Sriracha sauce to the rest of the sauce ingredients. Delicious! We will definitely make this again. We made this tonight and absolutely loved it!

We added cut up skirt steak and some Sriracha sauce at the end and it was simply amazing. Whole Foods ran out of soba noodles so we used vermicelli. It was just as good and probably not quite as healthy as the buckwheat would have been. Thanks, Deb! Made this tonight with my boyfriend and it was delicious!!!

The original ercipe was too ginger-y for my tastes, so I halved the ginger and doubled the garlic. I have used the korean hot pepper paste and it works perfectly in the recipe, but have also substituted different but similar sauces when I can't find it and played around with the soy and sugar additions with very good results. Definitely one of my go-to noodle recipes! I love this dish! The original ercipe was too ginger-y for my tastes, so I halved the ginger and doubled the garlic.

We recently switched to whole wheat and buckwheat noodles instead of the spaghetti noodles. Finding your recipe was a blessing. We used the spicy paste ( Chinese ) and less soy as mentioned.
