Yay for the weekend! This is when it's great to spend hours cooking elaborate, delicious meals that you normally wouldn't dare try to make during the hectic week, right? Well that was the plan when Ryan and I went down to The Fresh Market Saturday afternoon. But we ended up on a very simple and quick menu (but still delicious). As a side dish, we took inspiration from my mom (who in turn got the recipe from a Momofuku book), we just simplified it a tad. In one of the pictures above you can see all the incredients we used. To make the sauce we used 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon worchester sauce, 3 spring onions slices, a handful of chopped cilantro (one of my favs), 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and the zest and juice of one lemon. For the noodles, we used somen noodles (a Japaneses wheat noodle). They cook for 2 minutes in boil water and then drain and add immediately to sauce and toss. (We made the sauce about 2 hours ahead of time so the flavors had time to "marry"...another tip thanks to my mom). It was the perfect side dish; full of flavor but still light. Enjoy :)
