Ingredients
  

For the turkey meatballs

  • 4 g fresh ginger finely minced
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 green onion finely minced
  • 10 shiitake stems finely minced
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 400 g ground turkey

For the broth

  • 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
  • 5 g dried shiitake mushrooms approx. 2
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp miso paste

For the garnishes

  • 250 g soba noodles
  • 125 g fresh shiitake mushrooms approx. 10-12, the feet having been used to prepare meatballs
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 100 g enoki mushrooms
  • 1 green onion

Instructions
 

Meatballs:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large bowl, mix ginger with mirin, soy sauce and sesame oil. Add green onion and shiitake feet, breadcrumbs and ground turkey. Mix well.
  • Shape around 20 meatballs of 2.5 cm (approx. 1 inch). Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Put baking sheet in the middle of the oven and cook for 15 minutes. The internal temperature of the meatballs must reach 165°F (74°C).

Broth:

  • While meatballs cook, prepare the broth. In a pan, bring vegetable broth and dried shiitakes to broil. Let simmer at low heat for 10 minutes. Remove dried shiitakes.
  • Add soy sauce and miso in the hot broth. Let simmer for 5 minutes.

Garnish:

  • In the meantime, cook soba noodles according to instructions on the package.
  • Cut shiitake heads in strips. Brown shiitakes in sesame oil for 2-3 minutes to get a beautiful brown colour.

To serve:

  • Divide noodles in four large soup bowls. Add 3-5 meatballs per bowl, depending on appetites. Add cooked shiitakes and pour hot broth. Garnish with green onions and enoki mushrooms.
