This noodle salad is okay. The sauce could use a little something extra -- fish sauce, lime, sriracha? I added snow peas at the same time I added the carrots for a little extra veggies. I served the salad with egg rolls and an IPA.
Soba Noodles with Shrimp
Randy Mayor; Cindy Barr
Cooking the soba takes about 6 minutes, and you can chop and assemble the remaining ingredients while the noodles cook. Purchase peeled and deveined cooked shrimp, or buy raw shrimp and add them to the boiling water a couple of minutes after adding the noodles. This recipe is easily doubled if you need more than one serving.
