SOBA NOODLES WITH SHIITAKES, BROCCOLI AND TOFU
Soba noodles are Japanese, not Chinese, but I love using them in Chinese stir-fries. They have a wonderful nutty flavor, and buckwheat has a lot going for it nutritionally - it is a good source of manganese, copper and magnesium, and it is also high in phytonutrients. To make a quick vegetable stock, simmer the shiitake mushroom stalks in a small amount of water for about 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Combine stock, soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, sugar and salt to taste in a small bowl. Stir until sugar and salt dissolve. Combine garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes or minced chile in another bowl.
- Bring a large saucepan or pot of water to a boil, add salt to taste and baby broccoli. As soon as water comes back to a boil (about 1 minute), use a skimmer to remove broccoli and transfer it to a bowl of cold water. Drain in a colander, then on paper towels. Cut stems away from florets and slice about 1/2 inch thick. Bring water back to a boil and cook soba. Drain and toss with 2 teaspoons sesame oil.
- Place all ingredients within reach of your wok. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil and add tofu. Stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes, until it begins to color, and remove to a plate. Add remaining oil and garlic, ginger and chile. Stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds and add mushrooms. Stir-fry for 1 minute and add broccoli and the light parts of the scallions. Stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes. Add the noodles, tofu and the stock mixture. Reduce heat to medium and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes. Add cilantro and the dark green part of the scallions, stir-fry another 30 seconds to a minute, until well combined, and serve.

A great healthy recipe from the NY Times. (You can prepare the ingredients and blanch the broccoli hours ahead of cooking the dish. The stir-frying is a last-minute operation.)

Tips:
- Choose the best noodles: soba noodles are available in various sizes and textures, select thin or thick noodles based on your preference, and ensure they are cooked according to package instructions for optimal texture.
- Prepare vegetables and tofu: cut vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking, and press tofu to remove excess moisture for a firmer texture.
- Use good quality soy sauce: soy sauce is a key ingredient in the sauce, so use a high-quality one for the best flavor.
- Simmer the sauce: simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld together and develop, resulting in a richer taste.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: when cooking the noodles, avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent them from sticking together, cook in batches if necessary.
