200th post!

Wow, this is my 200th post! So what did I have for dinner to celebrate?

It was a warm and summery day, so I made a fresh Japanese noodle salad which I haven't made since last summer. I've changed it quite a bit from the Australian Women's Weekly Japanese cookbook so I feel I can include the recipe:

Dressing:

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup rice vinegar

2 teaspoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Salad:

250 g buckwheat noodles, boiled then drained and rinsed with cool water

250 g green beans, cooked with the noodles

2 red capsicum, sliced thinly

~300g pre-packaged marinated tofu (today, the tofu had some chopped vegies in it)

chopped spring onions

pink ginger

sesame seeds

Toss together and serve cold, with more ginger and spring onions for sprinkling on top.
