Soba Noodles With Tahini Veggie Sauce

Quick Easy Vegan Recipe, Technicall A Pasta Recipe, With Asian Flavors

Lucy Daum, charming, energetic vegan entrepreneur from Wisconsin, cooked dinner for us one night.

Her soba noodle dish, with shitake mushrooms, leeks, zucchini, and tahini sauce, was delicious, satisfying and different from our usual fare.

We all get into food ruts, and need Other People's Cooking to inspire us. I made a variation of this recipe the next night, and vowed to make it regularly.
