This turned out astonishingly good. I was only trying to get myself fed with a minimum of effort, but I'm now thinking of moving to a diet containing nothing else.
| some | "extra fancy" soba |
| one | squash, halved and sliced |
| ¼ big | onion, chopped (½ small) |
| half an | avocado |
| ½ tbsp. | fresh ginger, chopped fine. |
Fry up the onion and squash in some oil. Put a little zing in there—I recommend pepperoncini. Also splash some sherry on at some point. Just a little.
Meanwhile, cook the soba as suggested on the package: boil water, add soba, let it boil, stirring, for five minutes, then add cold water, return to boil, cook five more minutes, turn off heat, let sit for five minutes.
When all that's done, drain the soba and scoop it into bowls. Drop the charred veggies on top and garnish with big slices of avocado. Splash with soy sauce.
I think it's really the "extra fancy" soba that does it. Don't skimp on that soba, kids.
