Tsukimi Soba with A Lot of Vegetables

I cooked soba (Japanese noodle made from buckwheat flour) tonight. The soba is supposed to be one of the healthiest food among other noodles. When I was young, I didn't like it at all because it didn't taste as smooth as other noodles were. In other words, I didn't like the taste:(

But since I become more conscious about my health, I start eating more soba. And the more I try, the more I get used to eatting it.

Tsukimi soba is soba noodle with a raw egg in the bowl of hot soup. It calls tsukimi soba because the raw egg looks like the tsuki (moon) and it makes you feel like you are "viewing the moon" (tsukimi) in the soba noodle.

I added lots of spinach, sesame seeds, small fried shrimps, and a few sliced agedashi tofu in the bowl. I made soup by myself and it wasn't bad. Actually I enjoyed tonight's dinner:)

Of course, my desert after the dinner was grapes with yogurt. hmmmm yummy~

Sashimi for lunch

I had a lunch with my friends, one of whom is a sushi chef. He prepares sushi for his family every week and the lunch was made by the leftover from the last night his family left. It's an assembled dish with white rice, miso soup, natto (fermented soy beans) that were prepared by the other friend, cucumbers, tuna, tilapia, saba (mackerel) and abocade that were brought by him, the sushi chef. What great dishes I could have for lunch!! We had such fun time talking and eating the delicious food.
