Noodle Salad

This goes with the previous recipe, or eat it on its own.  If you can't find soba noodles, use ramen noodles  - I tried it with Udon Noodles and it was great. From Food and Drink Winter 2012.

2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp sugar
Salt and freshly ground pepper
175 g Soba noodles

GARNISH
1 cup julienned cucumbers
1 cup julienned green onions
2 tsp black sesame seeds

1. Combine soy sauce, lemon juice, vegetable oil, grated ginger and sugar and season with salt and pepper to taste.  REserve.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.  Add noodles and boil for 4 to 5 minutes or until al dente.  Refresh with cold water and place in a bowl.
3. Add dressing to noodles and toss to coat.  Add cucumber, green onions and sesame seeds and toss until just combined.  SEason with salt and pepper to taste.
