Shopping Tip
Fresh shiitake mushrooms can be found in most supermarkets. I bought it at Trader Joe’s. If you can’t find them use another type that you like.
Most supermarkets sell Japanese Soba noodles. They can be found in the Asian section or use whole wheat spaghetti for this recipe.
Chopped or crushed ginger, in a jar, can be found in the produce section near garlic, in a jar.
