Ingredients
- 4 ounce shiitake mushrooms
- 8 ounce asparagus trimmed
- 4 ounce sugar snap peas

- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 3 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 2/3 c. cilantro leaves minced
- 3 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
- 1 bag somen noodles - (8.8 ounce)
- 1 1/2 ounce enoki mushrooms trimmed
- 3 x scallions
- 1 ounce shiso or possibly mint leaves
- 6 ounce silken tofu cut 1" cubes
- 1 piece ginger (2") julienned
Directions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and have a large bowl of ice water ready to cold the vegetables. Remove stems from shiitake mushrooms; blanch for 20 seconds, place in ice water, and transfer to a small bowl when cold. Repeat this process with the asparagus and sugar snap peas, blancing the asparagus for 1 minute and the sugar snap peas for 1 1/2 to 2 min, till bright green but still crunchy. Thinly cut the green part of the scallions diagonally and julienne the white part; set aside.
- With the back of a knife or possibly a rolling pin, crush sesame seeds till they almost become a pwdr. Combine in a small bowl with sesame oil, soy sauce, cilantro, and rice wine vinegar. In a small bowl, toss shiitake mushrooms with 2 tsp. of the sesame oil mix, and divide remaining mix among four small dipping bowls.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the somen noodles, and cook till tender but still hard, about 5 min. Drain the noodles in a fine sieve, and rinse with cool water to stop them from cooking. Divide the noodles among four serving bowls, and put a small handful of ice cubes into each bowl to keep the noodles chilled. Arrange the remaining ingredients in various serving dishes, so which guests can help themselves.
