I had such a wonderfully pleasant day, sweetly smooth and incredibly productive. I managed to complete almost everything on my to-do list!!! I spend lot of time reading too, now doesn’t this sound fantastic? And as expected after a long happy day I was hungry… But let me tell you I was not hungry for just anything but I wanted my crazy good Soba Noodles with Sweet Ginger Scallion Sauce!!!

Ok let me share with you all one of the world most delicious and easy recipe. Agreed I might be exaggerating here a bit but in my world this recipe ranks truly the way I mentioned. So few months back I bought this amazing cookbook by David Chang “Momofuku”. Trust me I drooled over every recipe and picture in this phenomenal cookbook. From steamed buns to ramen, what possibly I could have ignored? But one recipe caught my eye instantly, the delightful Ginger Scallion Sauce, I made it and made it again and made it again and again….

But along the way I molded the recipe slightly, just making it a little bit sweeter and tiny bit spicy. I like this sauce with anything and everything, toss noodles in it, marinate the steak, chicken wings taste better with this, vegetables and tofu no problem, this sauce is nothing less than miracle.

Did I ever tell you guys that I LOVE Soba Noodles? I cannot tell you enough how much I adore these; delicious and healthy these are staple in my pantry. These noodles are Gluten free as well but let me tell you here to check the ingredient list to be sure for this on the package as some brands add flour too.
