Green Tea Soba in Miso Soup

The soba noodles are from Daiso which I bought last month and I’ve been wanting to cook it for some time. You see, whenever I discovered something ‘new’, I have this urge to cook it the soonest I can. ;p

The packet says green tea soba and the noodles look slightly green in colour, but there is no green tea smell at all. Haha…but it still tastes good, so OK la.
The miso paste is good, and produces this lovely soup to go with the noodles :)

A cup of "kumquat" tea to go with the dinner.

Ingredients:
Green Tea Soba (cooked per packet instruction)
Miso Paste
Chinese Mushroom
Carrot
Shallots
Tofu (cut into small cubes)
Chicken meat (marinate with cooking wine and soy sauce)
Sugar

Method:
1. Boil water in a pot. Add in miso paste, shallots and mushrooms. Cook for ~15min.

4. Add chicken meat. Cook with low heat for 2min or until chicken is cooked.
5. Put soba in a bowl and pour in the soup.
6. Garnish with seaweed and lettuce. Oishii!

Quick Sushi

I was in SG last weekend and had a great time shopping there. Nope, didn’t buy any clothes or shoes or bags BUT I bought sushi moulds!!! Crazy huh? Well, I was in NTUC and checking out the Jap food section when I saw these cute little sushi moulds. I just couldn’t help buying them although it’s quite pricey (OK, everything is expensive after we convert it to RM ;p).

Buy already must use ma, right….so I made sushi for dinner last night and also breakfast. I had fun playing with the moulds and will surely make these again.
