Noodles with shrimp and green beans: The buckwheat noodles (soba noodles) cooked in green tea give this dish a delicious touch. The sweet shrimp and flavourful green beans will do the rest.
A nice quick main course and ideal for summer dinners. Full of tasty seasonings such as soba noodles cooked in green tea, shrimp, beans, and everything flavored with soy and sesame.
A dinner which is on the table within 20 minutes and so delicious, ideal in summer or when you get back to work, on a weekday if you're very busy with all kinds of sports and other stuff. (I know that kind of evening all too well when you just like a cab driver bringing everyone here and there).
- Make this recipe gluten-free by replacing the noodles with rice. In that case, make sure you also use a gluten-free soy sauce.
- You can substitute fresh green beans with broccoli. Make sure you cut it into small florets.
- If you don't have mirin at home, you can use sweet sherry or sweet wine instead.
- Because you toast the sesame seeds the flavor will be much nicer.
