Soba Noodles with Sesame Seeds

So, the rumours aren't true. I am not dead and I have not stopped eating (no way!). The truth is, my internet has not been working (how annoying!!) and it's been super busy at work. If you work in education, though you don't have to, you know how it feels at the beginning of a new academic year. Scary. But I actually rather enjoy the manic-ness. Time just flies when you're busy.

But even on the most tiring day, I try to eat well and eat right, I want foods that require minimum effort to make and most importantly, delicious. One of my favourites is this soba noodles with sesame seeds. Lovely on its own, but sometimes I like to have it with grilled salmon.  The original recipe calls for the noodles to be left with the sauce for thirty minutes to let the flavours develop. *sigh. I am afraid, that's just impossible!

Now, the internet is working again... I cannot wait to read what you've been up to and I look forward to a relaxing weekend at home... maybe I'll bake something.

    Nice to have you back! Looks like a very satisfying and simple dish. Noodles always are so welcoming though aren't they?

    I LOVE this, we used to have it all the time. Hope your life becomes less busy (wish I could offer some sage advice, but if you get some from someone else, do let me know!)

    That's pretty annoyin. Internet, nowadays, is like hot water, your whole body starts to itch without one for a whole day.
    At least you're still doing the crucial things, eating deliciously well. Have a good one bro!

    Michael, I was about to send a posse out to look for you! So glad it's the Internet and start of the academic year and nothing else ;-). But it's good to see you taking care of yourself, nutrition wise, as evidenced by this soba noodle dish!

    I love soba noodles, especially chilled. Have you tried them like that? Being cold definitely suits their disposition!
