6 oz dried soba noodles
3 oz fresh shiitake or crimini mushrooms, sliced
2 thin slices fresh ginger, cut into matchsticks
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1-inch piece kombu
1 egg
1 scallion, chopped
1–2 teaspoons miso paste (or soy sauce to taste)
4 cups water
1–2 oz Texsel greens microgreens (added raw at serving)
Place kombu in a pot with 4 cups cold water and add the egg. Bring to a boil; cook 5 minutes. Remove egg and peel; set aside.
In a separate pot, heat sesame oil over medium-high. Add ginger and cook 30 seconds, then add mushrooms and cook 2–3 minutes until they release their juices.
Add kombu-infused water to the mushroom pot and bring to a boil.
Add soba noodles and cook about 5 minutes until tender.
Dissolve miso in a ladleful of hot broth; stir back into pot. Do not boil again after adding miso.
Ladle into bowls. Halve the egg and add. Top with scallion.
Pile Texsel greens microgreens directly on top at the table — the hot broth wilts them in 30–45 seconds.
Microgreens are young edible plants harvested shortly after germination. Published research reports that nutrient and phytochemical concentrations vary substantially by species, seed source, growing conditions, harvest stage, and storage, so crop-specific health claims should be interpreted cautiously.
• Microgreens have been studied as sources of vitamins, carotenoids, minerals, and other bioactive plant compounds.
moderate evidence• Nutrient composition cannot be assumed to be identical across microgreen varieties or production systems.
strong evidence• ChefPax presents this crop primarily for culinary flavor, texture, freshness, and menu variety rather than as a treatment or medical product.
