Noodles with Snow Pea Greens

Ingredients

 * 1/2 lbs snow pea greens
 * 2 red chilies
 * x some rice wine (sake
 * shaohsing, whatever)
 * 1/2 cup chopped shallots
 * 12 fresh shiitake mushrooms
 * 2 tbsp soy sauce
 * 2 tsp rice vinegar
 * 4 chopped scallions
 * 8 to 12 ounces japanese
 * noodles (soba, udon
 * whatever -- i used soba)

Directions
Lightly steam pea greens -- crisp, but cooked. Chop chilies, shallots and scallons. Slice shiitake thinly. Heat large non-stick skillet. Roast chilies for a minute, then add about ¼ cup rice wine. Add shallots and cook till they just start to darken (about 4 minutes). Add more wine if it starts to stick. (put water on to boil for noodles) with wine cooked off, add shiitake. They should give up their own water. Cook another 3-5 minutes till mushrooms are fully cooked and pan is drying out. Add soy sauce, vinegar, and scallions. Cook for a minute and then turn off burner and set aside. Water for noodles should be boiling, add noodles and cook till done, about 5 minutes usually. Toss noodles, pea greens and mushrooms. Eat. Ya know, slivered shiitake reminds me of tripe when it cooks. I bet if you substituted shiitake for the tripe in a good recipe it would make a tasty dish.
