TOAST THE SEEDS
Boil the kettle for step 2. Place a pan or wok over a medium heat. When hot, toast the sesame seeds for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove on completion and set aside to cool.
KEEPING IT SOBA
Place a pot for the soba noodles over a high heat. Fill with boiling water and add a pinch of salt. Once boiling rapidly, cook the noodles for 6-8 minutes until tender. Drain on completion and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Return to the pot, toss through some oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
WHILE THE NOODLES ARE COOKING…
Fry the ostrich! Drain any liquid from the ostrich packaging and pat the strips dry with some paper towel. Return the pan or wok to a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, brown the ostrich for 1-2 minutes until cooked through, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan or wok on completion and set aside.
AN UMAMI STIR FRY
Return the pan or wok to a medium heat with another drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated ginger and three-quarters of the slaw for 1-2 minutes until wilted but still crunchy. Stir in the sweet sesame-soy sauce and 50ml of water until coated. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced. Remove the pan from the heat and add in the cooked noodles and ostrich strips. Toss to combine and season to taste.
ONE MORE STEP TO GO
Place the cucumber matchsticks and the remaining slaw in a bowl. Toss together with some lime juice, lime zest, and seasoning to taste.
TASTE BUD PARTY TIME!
Dish up a bowl of warm ostrich noodles. Top with the tangy slaw, garnish with the chopped coriander, and sprinkle over the toasted sesame seeds. Finish off with a drizzle of sriracha to taste and serve with a lime wedge on the side. Sit down and chow down!
