Instructions
Combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes. Strain the broth and return it to the saucepan. Boil over high heat until reduced to 2 cups, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
In a saucepan of boiling water, cook the somen until tender but still slightly chewy, about 3 minutes.
Drain and rinse under cold water; drain.
Add the shiitakes, snow peas, cabbage, bean sprouts, daikon, onion and carrot and season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir- fry over high heat until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
Add the sesame oil and soy sauce; remove from the heat.
Season the fillets with salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a large skillet until shimmering.
Add the fish, skin-side down, and cook over moderately high heat until the skin is crisp, about 4 minutes. Turn the fillets and cook until just opaque throughout, about 2 minutes longer.
Bring the broth to a boil. Stir-fry the vegetables over high heat to rewarm them.
Put the noodles in 4 shallow soup bowls and pour the boiling broth over them. Spoon the vegetables over the noodles and top with the fish, skin-side up.
Sprinkle with the chives, basil, cilantro and sesame seeds and serve.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Seabass. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The St. Michael-Eppan Anger Pinot Grigio with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.
St. Michael-Eppan Anger Pinot Grigio
Depending on the soil and microclimate, Pinot gris varies from a simple everyday wine all the way up to absolute top growths. The warm, sun-exposed vineyards of the Anger sites, with their loamy limestone gravel soils, are a textbook example. The Anger Alto Adige Pinot Grigio has a noble structure, nice balance and fine acidity – making it an absolute pleasure to drink. The strong white goes well with fish and fish soup, guinea fowl breast or veal fillet.
