Soba Noodles with Peppers & Tofu
1 package soba nodles
1 bowl leftover tofu & peppers
teriyaki sauce & asian ginger salad dressing
Boil the soba noodles - they cook really fast, about 5 minutes. Drain in the colander. In the meantime, heat up the leftover veges & tofu in the pot for a couple of minutes. Then add the noodles back in. I topped the first serving with the asian ginger dressing, but this dressing just tasted like mayonnaise (why I never really liked it that much to start). The second serving we each had we put teriyaki sauce on top and it was SO MUCH more delicious!
Edamame
1/2 cup ready to eat edamame soy beans
sea salt
I put these in two cute little dishes and heated them up for 30 seconds in the microwave, then sprinkled some fancy sea salt on top.
Cucumber Seaweed Salad
1 large english cucumber
1/2 - 1 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2-3 tablespoons japanese rice seasoning
Slice up the cucumber as thin as possible. It doesn't really matter how thin or if they are consistent (see picture). If you can get them paper thin the whole time, that's great; if not, it still tastes good! Any kind of cucumber will do, but the persian and english varieties have thinner skins so are nice for making salad. Pour a bunch of seasoned vinegar (this literally just means sugar is added to it; you can buy at any asian market and even trader joe's carries it). Sprinkle the rice seasoning on top (this is mostly seaweed). Stir or shake. This salad is actually better the next day.
Marshall Says: "I like these noodles, but they aren't good enough to blog about. The cucumber salad is, though."
Serves: 2-3 large servings
Time: 15-20 minutes - fast!
Leftovers: Used leftover veges, but also have a full serving of noodles for lunch (that's the third serving), and couple side cucumber salads. And I only used a little bit of the edamame package.
