Cambodian Lemongrass Curry over Soba

Um, so this is good.  And I threw it together in a snap.

Make the soba according to package directions.  I boiled enough water for 1 in my Windsor pan, because it boils water the fastest.  Why does it do this?  Because it has wide rim where a greater amount of surface area is exposed allowing … O nevermind.

Heat another pan on the stove.  Chop up one small zucchini and 7 good size button mushroom and half a Vidalia onion.  (Almost did a green pepper here, too, which I think would have worked.) Add a splash of the water from the noodle pot into the saute pot, along with a crumbled veggie stock cube to provide some flavor. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft.  When the water is boiling for the soba, add the soba. Cook about 5 minutes or according to package directions.  I don’t know what kind of soba you’re using.

Add more water to the shrooms if needed to keep a wet saute.  Add onions and cook for a few minutes to soften.  We want them sweet and crunchy if we can.  Like you’d get it out if a professional cooked it for you.

Add the zucchini and let it all cook a bit more, but not too much or too hard.  Mushy zucchini is nasty.  Add lemongrass curry seasoning (I fucking hate when recipes do this – but hey, I showed you where you can buy it if you’re really curious) and enough coconut milk to cover the veggies.  Allow to simmer gently for a bit to thicken up.

Toss soba into curry.  Serve immediately.
