Sesame Soba With Asparagus & Mushrooms
"Because buckwheat (gluten free) stabilizes blood sugar, lowers cholesterol and fights inflammation, it is classified as a super food. Buckwheat has more nutritional value than wheat pastas and rice noodles. It is also lighter on the tummy. Having now made this, for us...I used more tamari and lime juice at the end with a good drizzle of sriracha. Also used cremini mushrooms (225g)."
