Notes

  • Don't rush the onions. Those extra few minutes of cooking make a big difference in the final flavor. They need to start browning but not burned.
  • Let the mushrooms sit undisturbed for a minute or two between stirs so they brown instead of steam.
  • A runny egg yolk creates a simple sauce that coats the buckwheat beautifully.
  • If your buckwheat seems dry after reheating, stir in a small pat of butter or a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Add the seeds just before serving so they stay crunchy and add extra protein.

Storing Tips

  • To Store: Store the buckwheat, vegetables, and egg separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • To Make Ahead: Cook the buckwheat and mushroom mixture ahead of time and store in the fridge. Reheat and top with a freshly cooked egg before serving.
  • To Reheat: Warm the buckwheat and vegetables in a skillet with a splash of water or a little butter until heated through. I prefer making the egg fresh.
