  5. Wow- reading this post was like stepping back into my childhood. I could sit and read for hours upon hours, perfectly happy living in the alternate reality of whatever book I was reading. I was one of those kids who would bring a book to a restaurant and read during dinner, and one who also read during class while the teacher was teaching. And I also woke up early on Saturday mornings at friends’ houses just to read. There is nothing better than escaping into a book. Great post, and I love the recipe!

    This looks fantastic! Do you remember what size package of soba noodles you used? My grocery store sells them in various quantities (8 oz, 16 oz, etc).

    Just made it on the recommendation of Heidi Swanson. It was delicious! So glad to have discovered your blog.

    Is there a way to print the recipes, ideally with a picture, that I’m missing?

    This salad dressing is now my favorite in the world. I make it on Asian coleslaw, regular salads (with peanuts, peppers, carrots, cilantro, snap peas, green beans, green onions, chicken, pickled ginger and mandarin slices), pasta salads… as an egg roll dipping sauce. I almost eat it off a spoon it’s so good. Thank you so much for this!

  17. Hi Jody. I love the recipe ideas on your blog: such an inspiring read. I have a quick question regarding this recipe. Do you use buckwheat Asian style noodles, or do you mean spaghetti? Just checking as I know that sometimes in the US, ‘noodles’ refers to what in the UK we call pasta. For us, noodles are always Asian-style. I guess it would work with both, and I am assuming Asian-style given the other ingredients, but wanted to check, thank you!

    • Hi Lucy – Yes, we used Asian noodles – Buckwheat/soba noodles are usually easy to find at the grocery. Of course, you can try whatever noodles you like best and make it your own, too. thanks!
