Simple Cold Soba salad
Made this for lunch today =) Haven't been cooking for a longggg time.
As usual, there isn't much ingredients at home, so I have to take out the frozen food to add to my plain soba noodles. (Sometimes I really think I'm really a JUNK + ie, always cooking out of leftovers LOL) But I'm rather happy with the resulting taste of the dressing -- A combination of sweetness, saltiness and spiciness. The crispy strippy crabsticks adds a crunch factor to the noodles and the sweetness of the taiwan sausage is just so...Mmm...nice!
Here goes the the recipe:
Simple Cold Soba Salad (Serves 1)
Ingredients:
1/2 a bunch of soba noodle sticks
Frozen vegetables or any other vegetables (Eg. broccoli or cucumber)

Olive oil/other healthy cooking oil
Sesame seed oil
Black pepper
Noodle dressing
3 tsp sesame seed oil
4 tsp light soya sauce
1 1/2 tsp honey
1 tbsp water
1 small chilli padi
Sprinkle of black pepper
Method:
1. Bring the water in the pot to a boil and add soba noodles. Cook for 3-4mins. Stir occasionally.
2. Drain the water and place noodles into ice water. Let it sit for 1-2 mins to cool the noodles.

4. Pan fry taiwan sausage slices until glazed.
