Recipe: Shiitake Mushroom & Seaweed Noodles

Seaweed & Shiitake NoodlesI have never been one for doing the cryptic crossword.  Generally, once the clues are explained I do get them, but I have never had the time, inclination and dedication to sit down and teach myself to do The Time Crossword.   I quite admire those that can, and I am in awe of the few that complete the puzzle in 5 minutes.

My father’s favourite clue (he also does not do the cryptic crossword) is “Shiny Trousers? (15)”, the answer of course is “Notwithstanding”.   I was once very chuffed with myself when I sussed that “It’s a sad little motorcycle (5)” was “Moped”, but on the whole word games are not really my thing, although whilst cooking this I did come up with “This Asian fungus really has a laugh at your expense (8)”. 

“Shiitake” Yes – I know really not a good clue, but my thinking was that taking the shiitake was a step beyond taking the piss…   As I said word games are not my thing, and I am not expecting a glittering career as a crossword compiler on the strength of this blog post.

This dish came about last weekend when Radio 4’s Food Programme featured seaweed, which I adore, but have never really mentioned on the blog.   I suspect the nearest most people get to seaweed is as a sheet of nori around their sushi rolls and it is something that does not really feature in most diets, which is a shame.  If you have not tried seaweed then do give it a go, I am certain you will be surprised.

Seaweed or (a more digestible sounding) sea vegetables are packed with nutrients and minerals.  My favourite pick me up is a mug of miso soup sprinkled with sea vegetables and a dash of soy sauce, which I find incredibly restorative, and is just the ticket for the morning after the night before.

I get most of my Japanese ingredients from Clearspring, I find them top quality, the products are organic where they can be, and the misos and tamaris are delicious and made by Japanese artisans with centuries old methods.  They have a fairly comprehensive guide to the benefits of sea vegetables on their website too.

This dish is inspired by this tamari pasta with pak choi that I blogged almost two years ago, after having first met the Clearspring team at a food show.  I used Clearspring’s Sea Salad – a mix of dulse, sea lettuce and nori.  It rehydrates almost instantly and is also wonderful sprinkled over a green salad with a miso dressing.

    Yum. I wonder if you could use samphire and get a similar taste/health benefit? In season now too, I think. This looks delicious and very comforting.

      What a good idea Ren.

      I think it would be very similar indeed.

    I am a keen seaweed eater and have been looking for some wakame to put in my miso soup. I am now going to look at Clearspring to see if they do it. I love the sound of noodles cooked with shitake & seaweed flakes. I find that this kind of dish makes you feel full and really satisfied plus it is good for you!
    Loved the Radio4 food programme on seaweed too
