Description

If you have a large family, you can buy a pack of regular spaghetti at a common grocery store for about $1–1.50, chop less filling, and replace mandarins with oranges (they are cheaper now).

Ingredients

Squid - 5 pieces
Garlic - 2 cloves
Morels - 5.6 oz
Mandarins - 2 pieces
Soba Noodles - 1.8 oz
Soy Sauce - 3 fl oz
Vegetable Oil - 1 fl oz
Honey - 1 tablespoon
Salt - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Place the mushrooms (oysters) in a frying pan and sauté well.

Step 2

Chop the garlic and the zest of two mandarins. If someone in the family doesn't like zest, cut it large enough so that they can remove it. But it still needs to be added to the dish to give it a mandarin flavor.

Step 3

Cut the mandarins into the dish; you can use two. Or simply squeeze the juice from one and add the second with the pulp. In my opinion, both with pulp are more interesting.

Step 4

Chop the thawed squid fillets.

Step 5

When the mushrooms are ready, add all the chopped ingredients to the pan and mix with the mushrooms. Pour in the soy sauce, vegetable oil, season with salt to taste, and sauté this mixture over medium-high heat until cooked (the squid should cook in the mushroom juice, and the juice should evaporate due to the heat; by the last minutes, there should be almost no liquid left, and the dish should be frying, not stewing).

Step 6

Cook the noodles for about 10 minutes in a pot, uncovered, over medium heat. For two servings, I cook half a pack (see photo).

Step 7

When the noodles are cooked, drain the water, add them to the pan, and mix with the other ingredients. Add a tablespoon of honey and sauté for another 2 minutes.
