Mushroom and baby corn soba noodles (vegan)


This was a quick dinner made with soba noodles (Japanese pasta) and some other Asian-inspired ingredients in an easy-peasy vegan stir-fry. 
Try them and love them. :)
Enjoy.
P.S: This is my 500th blog post. Time flies :D

Last year: Truffle potato mash and Salată asortată (Romanian assorted salad) (raw vegan).
Two years ago: Baby making and no cooking :).

Boil them according to package instructions. In the meantime keep stirring in the wok. If you feel like the corn isn't softening, add some 50 ml water and cover.

Add the rest of the soy sauce and mix well. Remove from the heat and add some extra salt and pepper if necessary (taste first). Add the chopped parsley:
