Рецепт Stir fry Somen noodles with Cabbage and Shrimp
Lately I have been experimenting with Asian flavors. Although I am not much of a pasta eater I love Asian noodles. Udon, sobe, ramen…. Bring it on. Last weekend, I took my mom and sister to a tiny sushi spot located inside the only Asian supermarket in my area. While we enjoyed sushi, Briana had a bowl on Yake Udon. The serving was so big that when my little girl announced she was done, there was still a whole lot left so we couldn’t help but stick our chopsticks into this delicious looking bowl. Since we were at the right place for noodles I decided to visit the noodle isle to make some at home.
As I was reading nutrition labels on what seemed like an endless selection of noodles you know what I noticed? Noodles are loaded with sodium. I stumbled upon buckwheat somen, a thin Japanese noodle made with buckwheat flour. Seemed like a good choice. Well apparently I know how to pick noodles. We loved loved loved the way somen turned out stir fried with cabbage and shrimp.
Oh yeah, it’s even better when served with Sriracha.
On the side note, if you cant find somen noodles, angel hair pasta might make a great substitute.
If you’re looking for a simple and easy dinner idea, look no further. This one is a keeper.
