Tahini Mushroom Noodles
with broccoli and edamame
It’s no surprise that we love noodles here at The Food Medic HQ - and this recipe is no different. The meal maths is simple: noodles, nutty sauce, seasonal veggies = lunch and dinner is done!
Ingredients
1 ½ tbsp sesame oil [or oil of choice]
1 small head of broccoli
3 garlic cloves, crushed
250g mushrooms, sliced
4 nests of rice noodles
200g edamame beans
80g tahini
1 lime, juiced
20ml soy sauce
Warm water [to loosen the tahini dressing]
Sesame seeds, to serve
Chilli flakes, to serve [optional]
Method
Begin by heating two pans over a medium heat, split the sesame oil between the two, and boil the kettle
Cut the broccoli into small florets and add them to one of the pans. Place a lid over this pan to allow the florets to steam a little.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the other.
After about 5 minutes remove the lid from the broccoli and stir through 1 crushed garlic clove. Leave to cook for a further few minutes until the garlic is cooked [but not browning too much or it’ll turn bitter] and the broccoli is bright green and cooked to your preferred softness.
Meanwhile place the nests of noodles in a large bowl and cover with boiling water from the kettle. Cook as per packet instructions, and once they’re cooked drain and rinse them with cold water.
Add them to a large bowl along with the cooked mushrooms, garlicky broccoli florets, and edamame beans.
Prepare the dressing by combining the tahini, lime juice, remaining 2 garlic cloves and soy sauce. Add warm water to loosen to your desired dressing consistency - we like it to be similar to the consistency of double cream.
Pour the dressing over the noodles and veggies and mix well.
Split between 3 lunchboxes and finish by adding some sesame seeds, chilli flakes, and a wedge of lime to squeeze over just before eating. Enjoy hot or cold!
