I will often just enjoy a bowl of soba noodles for lunch with some soy sauce and mirin. However, I’m always looking for delicious recipes that can be made for dinner. I found this recipe online a few weeks ago and we made it for dinner one night. This recipe is a particular great recipe, because it requires very little cooking. In the heat of summer, I know I’ll be returning to this recipe again and again. Soba noodles can now be found at most grocery stores in the Asian food section. Grab yourself some noodles and enjoy this recipe!
