- Put a large pasta pot of water (without salt) on to boil. Cook the soba noodles (for time see package). Set aside. See notes.
- Add the oils to a wok or large saute pan. Bring to high heat. Add ginger and garlic. Stir-fry briefly - about 1 minute.

- Clip the stems off of shiitake. Slice thin. Add to the stir-fry.
- Add the shrimp, and stir-fry an additional 2 minutes until nearly opaque. Shrimp will continue to cook once removed from heat, so don't overcook!

To Serve
- Divide the soba noodles between to plates or shallow bowls. Top each with half of the stir-fry, and garnish with scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
Notes
Mirin is a sweet rice wine available in Asian markets and many supermarkets. Substitute honey or omit.
Prep work is important with all cooking IMHO, but particularly with quick stir-fries. I recommend investing in a good selection of prep bowls in various sizes. I use mine every day!
If you've rinsed your soba noodles to keep them from getting soggy, you can give them a quick rinse with hot water to warm them. I usually skip this as a piping hot stir-fry gets them hot enough for my family...
