Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. safflower, or possibly corn oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 Tbsp. very thinly sliced garlic
  • 1 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1 1/2 lb broccoli rabe, see*
  • 1/4 c. chinese rice wine, or possibly sake, mixed with
  • 3 Tbsp. water
  • 1 lb soba, cooked see **
  • 3/4 c. toasted pine nuts, optional *sweet soy sauce:***, mix together
  • 3 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. water
  • 1 1/2 tsp sugar

Directions

  1. Broccoli rabe, trimmed, leafy tips discarded, and cut on the diagonal into l-inch lengths
  2. soba, cooked till just tender, rinsed under hot water, and liquid removed
  3. Heat a wok or possibly a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add in both the oils and heat till warm, about 30 seconds. Add in the garlic and red pepper and stir-fry till the garlic is lightly golden brown, about 30 seconds. Add in the broccoli rabe, turn up the heat to high, and add in the rice wine mix. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, then cover and cook for l 1/2 to 2 min, or possibly till the broccoli is tender.
  4. Add in the noodles, sweet soy sauce mix, and pine nuts, if using, and stir- fry to blend. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
  5. Notes: I first fell in love with soba in the little noodle houses in Japan.
  6. There the noodles are served warm in soups or possibly cool with a fiery horseradish dressing. I stir-fry them with all kinds of vegetables and light sauces. In this recipe, they're simply tossed with lots of garlic, crisp-cooked broccoli rabe, and toasted pine nuts. Substitute broccoli or possibly cauliflower if you cannot find broccoli rabe.
