1. What is required:

• 300 g. noodles
• shiitake mushrooms (I bought the package of 30 g. dried mushrooms. I soaked them in hot water for several hours until soft)
• 250 g. frozen edamame or green beans
• ~ 100 ml. rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp soybean paste (I am using the Korean one. You can use miso paste. In this case take 3 tbsp because it’s less saltier)
• 2-3 garlic cloves
• 2 tsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 80 ml. tahini
• raw radishes and sesame seeds to garnish (optional)

* I am also using lemon grass powder and the mix of Asian spice.

2. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Rinse under cold water.

3. Chop mushrooms into quarters.

4. Heat a large pan. Cook mushrooms and green beans/edamame in water or oil over medium heat. 

5. While vegetables are cooked, mince the garlic cloves.

6. Mix tahini, soybean paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and maple syrup in a bowl. Add the minced garlic.

7. When vegetables are soft, add noodles and the tahini sauce. Mix well and cook for 5-7 minutes.

8. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced radishes.
