A Wisconsin Cast Iron Story : Smoked Salmon and Soba

Tonight was dad duty to cook as our little one had gymnastics...not wanting to go for "too easy" of a route for dinner, I found a little recipe on one of my YouTube channels for hiking, tweaked it a bit, and away I went. This was my feat tonight (by the way, my wife was very impressed...)

First, I started with some locally raised oyster mushrooms that I purchased at our food co-op:

I cut the bases of and then spread them out, as such:

I then put a splash of sesame oil in the cast iron and warmed it up to medium-high heat:

And then sauteed the mushrooms up to a nice golden brown:

I then made a broth of 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of ginger, and 2 teaspoons of sesame oil:

I then threw 2 cups of water into the cast iron, along with the broth, and brought the heat to a low simmer:

The noodles I used were organic, buckwheat-based soba noodles. I had read that the buckwheat holds the noodles together better in a cast iron, so I thought I'd give it a go:

After letting the water and broth warm, I dumped about 3 ounces of noodles into the pan:

I let the noodles go for about 5 minutes while stirring occasionally, and then threw some sesame seeds on top:

I then killed the heat, removed the pan from the burner, and prepared the smoked salmon ready to go:

I then layered it on top and mixed it about...I also threw a few red pepper flakes in, too:

Yum! I then made some edamame on the side, threw some of these radish microgreens on each portion:

Abracadabra...dinner was ready!

Just look at that...I guess I can be useful sometimes around the house! I honestly amaze myself sometimes. The meal was a big hit and one that I will definitely do again in the future. The meal only took about 20 minutes all in, so definitely an easy one.

Thanks for checking this one out! If you have made something similar, let me know...and if you have any further tweaks I should try...yeah, let me know! Long live Food on Hive!

Thanks so much! I'm happy to know the meal was enjoyed on Hive, too, lol @anggreklestari

This is my kind of food, I give it a five-star.

Thanks, it was good...it's a new household favorite...dad got a W finally, lol

Looks amazing, next time I find oysters in the forest I'll give this type of dish a try.

Yeah, this one was good...wishing I had found some more of those chicken of the wood mushrooms this morning for this dish.

They should be coming out again around late september early october.

I definitely would like to find more - that last one was pretty good in butter

Damn now that looks delicious! We have a cast iron pan but I tried to season it and it was a disaster so it's just sitting in the cabinet for now lol

I struggled with ours too for a bit, then I just did some bacon in it to get it greased up good...Liza then got some season type cream...too complicated for me, I just like to let animal fat grease it up, haha
