Ingredients

Sesame Dressing

• 1/2 cup tahini
• 1 Tbsp tamari or soy sauce
• 1 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil
• 3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 2 tsp honey
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 Tbsp warm water
• 1 tsp red chilli oil (optional)
• 1 tsp salt

Bowls

• 4 bundles Soba noodles
• 4 scallions, thinly sliced
• 2 cups kimchi
• 12 shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 4 cups kale, stems removed and chopped
• 4 eggs
• sesame seeds (garnish, optional)
• olive oil
• salt & freshly cracked pepper

Instructions

1. Throw all ingredients for the dressing in a jar and shake it up. 
2. Boil enough water to submerge your egg or eggs in a small pot. When the water is at a rolling boil, slowly and carefully lower the eggs into the pot with a spoon to ensure they don’t crack when they hit bottom. Boil the eggs for 6 minutes or 5 1/2 minutes for a bit runnier. Discard the boiling water and run cold water over the eggs. When they are cool enough to handle, peel the eggs carefully. 
3. Add the 4 bundles of soba noodles to 4 quarts of boiling water and cook at a boil for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain well and while the noodles are still hot, toss in the dressing.
4. Heat a little bit of olive oil in a medium cast iron pan over medium heat. Sauté the kale lightly for about 2 minutes. Season with salt & pepper. Remove from pan before the kale wilts. Set aside.
5. Heat a little more olive oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add in the shiitakes/or other mushrooms in one layer, it's important not to crowd the pan so that the mushrooms sear properly. Season with salt & pepper. Sear for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and set aside.
6. After you peel the eggs and cut in half, finely chop the scallions, chop the Cabbage Patch Kimchi; the assembly line is ready to go! Use a large bowl and add noodles. Arrange the rest of the items as you like!
