Рецепт Udon, Mushroom and French Beans
After posted so many cakes and desserts, I think it's time to post a healthy meal. I'm sure many of you like me love udon either stir fry or soup. So today I'm sharing with you my concoction of this healthy udon tossed with shitake mushrooms and French beans and garnished with a simple dressing. This one dish or meatless meal is so wonderfully delicious that I really don't mind to having it thrice a week.
According to Organic Facts and Healthism, mushrooms contain more than twice the amount of protein as other vegetables and the health benefits include relief from cholesterol levels and many cancer disease. It also helps in weight loss, increasing immunity. French beans are sweet, tender and wonderfully crispy. French beans are also beneficial for diabetic people as they help in preventing the sugar levels from rising up immediately after having a meal.
Udon, Mushroom and French Beans
- 600g Udon
- 250g Fresh Shitake mushrooms
- a bunch of French beans
- 1 tbsp Garlic, chopped
- Dressing
- 200ml Water
- 3 tbsp Kikkomann soya sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp Mirin
- 2 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 2 tsp Mustard powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp Corn flour
some cut green and red chillies for garnishing
Method:
Combine all the dressing ingredients together in a small pot and stir to boil with a whisk. Lower heat and simmer for 30 seconds or till sauce thickened and set aside.
Gently wipe the fresh shitake mushroom with a damp cloth or a paper towel and remove stem and slice mushrooms.
Heat non-stick pan at medium heat with a little oil and saute garlic for a while, add mushrooms into it and stir fry for about 2 minutes. Then add 1/2 tbsp of oyster sauce and 3 tbsp of water into the mushrooms and fry for another 2 minutes with a dash of pepper. Dish up and set aside.
Rinse French beans and blanch them in a pot of boiling water with a pinch of salt for 2 to 3 minutes. Then soak the beans in cold water for 30 seconds and strain, cut them diagonally, set aside.
Blanch the udon in the same pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes until udon separated and cooked. (while blanching the udon, warm up the sauce at low heat).
Divide udon equally in 3 serving bowls or plates, top with French beans and mushrooms. Gently drizzle with 4-5 tablespoons of the dressing over it with a dash of black or white pepper when serve. (do not add too much of the dressing as it is quite salty, just add to taste). Ganish with some red and green chillies on top.
Toss the udon well before consume.
