lunch experiment: cold penne paired with soba tsuyu

6 comments:

  1. so sue me! I was hungry from walking..

    ...I could only find a tupperware-full of cooked cold penne and a half-full bottle of soba sauce (the dipping sauce used for soba) tucked in my ref....I had a few big sheets of seaweed I used some time ago for my foray into making sushi...I shredded the latter haphazardly and threw them on top of my pasta...

    (and no, I didn't have tomato sauce left..so I couldn't make my fave penne arrabbiata...)

    luckily I had in my freezer a tray of boneless asuhos too!

    so rolled them in my own mix of flour and whatever-spices-I-liked and fried them...voila...I had a somewhat tasty if unusual lunch...esp since it was paired with orange juice instead of tea...hehehe!

  5. well, I stumbled into cold zaru soba when I had brunch at Jipan bakery...at first it was like...hmm...cold noodles? dipped? little quail eggs on the side? hmm.....but its surprisingly ok to my palate...I bet its good during summer...

  6. Ted, am only that adventurous when it comes to my cooking...hahaha! though I confess the last time I tried it was the John and Yoko (yep, the Lennons) resto here in GB5...where supposedly east meets west and you have curious combos of Japanese and western cuisine...
