This weekend we had our new 'annual adventure' to Austomere, down near Wollongong. The T's had organised a BBQ lunch, satay chicken, pork and ginger kebabs with Nigella's soba noodle salad. It was great to see everyone and the kids now leave us in piece to discuss important issues such as the atheist verses agnostic debate.
NIGELLAS SOBA NOODLE SALAD
Ingredients:
75g sesame seeds
salt
250g soba noodles
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
5 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons sesame oil
5 spring onions
Instructions:
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over a high heat until they look golden brown, and tip them into a bowl.
Bring a large pan of water to the boil and add some salt. Put in the soba noodles and cook them for about 6 minutes (or according to packet instructions) until they are tender but not mushy. Have a bowl of iced water waiting to plunge them into after draining.
In the bowl you are going to serve them in, mix the vinegar, soy sauce, honey and oil. Then finely slice the spring onions and put them into the bowl with the cooled, drained noodles and mix together thoroughly before adding the sesame seeds and tossing again.
Leave the sesame seed noodles for about half an hour to let the flavours develop, although this is not absolutely necessary or sometimes even possible.
