O how I love soba noodles!
Did you know soba are lower in carbohydrates than most other types of noodle? Important for diabetics and dieters. These lovely buckwheat noodles stand up to a sauce, keep their texture, and are very satisfying in a bento lunch. They always get a high score on the NHAB Scale: Not Hungry Again Bento.
So today, in the midst of a cold snap (it's 1 degree F. outside as I write!), my bento has:
Spinach sauteed briefly in olive oil, sesame soba, carrots and 'egg rolls' (flat omelet rolled and sliced); then in the other tier, sugar snap peas, clementine, and blueberries.
Stay warm everyone!
My friend in MN tells me that you guys are in the middle of a blizzard... be safe!
ReplyDeleteAAhhh it is so cold!!!!! I almost cried walking in from my car this morning. Temperature is 1 and wind is 784 mph.
