And this has been officially added to the “Memorial Day” checklist.
Best thing about it? I’m pretty sure I already have everything I need in my fridge or pantry. 🙂

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!

me too–I still carry a book around in my purse “just in case” I have a minute during the busy day!

I’d be content to read all day if I had something with sesame oil to snack on.
This more than fits the bill- I know what I’m doing this weekend!

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).

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!

Lucy on said:
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!
RecipesFHD on said:
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!
Emma on said:

I don’t know – I usually take it down within 2 days!
