Soba Noodles with sesame seeds
This an old Nigella Lawson recipe from her UK Vogue days. Delicious on their own or just as sumptuous with some seared salmon, you can serve them cold too.
For 2 you need
75g sesame seeds
250 g soba buckwheat noodles
5 teasp soy sauce
2 teasp rice vinegar
2 teasp honey
2 teasp sesame oil
5 spring onions
·Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over high heat until they have a gorgeous golden tan and then tip in a bowl and shaft them to one side to cool down
·Cook the noodles in boiling water till they are um, cooked.
·Drain and run under cold water.Nigella says plunge them in cold water but no one likes to be plunged into iced water ( except lime and gin).
·I say leave there to drain under cold water ( there’s a drought on remember)
·Speaking of which, time to pour a drink!
·In the bowl you are going to serve the noodles in, mix up the soy, rice vinegar, honey and sesame oil. Double the quantity if you need to
Ditto with gin and tonic
·Slice up the spring onions into chic, little slices and toss into bowl with the cooled drained noodles.
·Give them a good old toss, then sprinkle the sesame seeds on
·Oh go on toss them all again so the noodles are just dripping with the sauce.
·Let them all marinate there in their own juices while you whip some salmon or quelque chose comme ca.
·The flavours will get even better after they’ve had a little quiet sit.
·Serve up with the salmon
·Sublime! You will be addicted. Nigella says “I just lift the bowl to my face, fork furiously and slurp”
We all love to fork furiously!
