In my ongoing battle to move beyond the eternal ham-and-chips routine, buckwheat is a weapon to wield carefully, given its tendency to scare off my usual dinner guests.<\/em><\/p>\n

I love buckwheat\u2014in cr\u00eapes, noodles, or crozets. It\u2019s a pseudo-cereal rich in complex proteins, rivaled only occasionally by quinoa.<\/p>\n

This is a beta version<\/strong>, because like an absolute novice, I tried wok-cooking an entire pot of soba noodles. Mistakes were made, lessons were learned. Oh, and I forgot to add soy sauce to the stir-fry sauce…<\/p>\n

Otherwise, taste-wise, it\u2019s actually pretty decent.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For the Noodles<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Option 1<\/strong>:\n
      \n
    • 300g buckwheat flour + 100g high-gluten flour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Option 2<\/strong>:\n
        \n
      • 400g store-bought dry noodles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        For the Vegetables and Seafood<\/strong><\/h4>\n
          \n
        • 1\/4 celeriac<\/li>\n
        • 4 parsnips<\/li>\n
        • 8 scallops<\/li>\n
        • 1 handful of langoustines<\/li>\n
        • 1\/2 liter of mussels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          For the Stir-Fry Sauce<\/strong><\/h4>\n
            \n
          • 15cl high-smoke-point oil (e.g., grapeseed)<\/li>\n
          • 3cl sesame oil<\/li>\n
          • 1 garlic clove<\/li>\n
          • 1 shallot<\/li>\n
          • 1 mild jalape\u00f1o pepper<\/li>\n
          • And, if you\u2019re not an absent minded idiot like me, some soy sauce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n

            Preparation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

            1. Prepare the Vegetables<\/strong><\/h4>\n
              \n
            • Peel the celeriac and parsnips, then julienne them into thin strips.<\/li>\n
            • Blanch the julienned vegetables briefly in boiling water, then set them aside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              2. Prepare the Seafood<\/strong><\/h4>\n

              Because the sauce will bring most of the flavor, there\u2019s no need to go overboard on seasoning the seafood:<\/p>\n

                \n
              • Cook the mussels in lightly salted water for 10 minutes\u2014no aromatics needed.<\/li>\n
              • Cook the langoustines in the same way for no more than 3 minutes.<\/li>\n
              • If you bought the mussels, langoustines, and scallops whole, shell them all.<\/li>\n
              • Briefly blanch the scallops.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                \n

                3. Prepare the Stir-Fry Sauce<\/strong><\/h4>\n
                  \n
                • Thinly slice the garlic, shallot, and jalape\u00f1o.<\/li>\n
                • Mix these aromatics with the grapeseed and sesame oils.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                  \n

                  4. Cook the Noodles<\/strong><\/h4>\n
                    \n
                  • If using fresh noodles: Make the dough by mixing the buckwheat and high-gluten flours, then roll and cut into thin noodles.<\/li>\n
                  • If using dry soba noodles: Precook them briefly in boiling water to loosen them, then drain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                    \n

                    5. Wok-Cooking<\/strong><\/h4>\n

                    This is where the magic happens, but it requires patience.<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    • Heat the wok to a high temperature.<\/li>\n
                    • Stir-fry each portion of noodles individually for 1\u20133 minutes. This ensures even cooking and prevents the noodles from clumping or overcooking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                      \n

                      Assembly and Serving<\/strong><\/h3>\n
                        \n
                      • Toss the vegetables and seafood with the stir-fried noodles.<\/li>\n
                      • Pour over the aromatic sauce (and don\u2019t forget the soy sauce this time).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                        Serve immediately while hot<\/p>\n
