Soba Salad with Scallops

I know, this is the 2nd time in a week we've had this meal, but how can you resist cold soba? And you definitely cannot resist seared scallops!

And when it's a hot day, this is the kind of simple tasty meal you want to prepare quickly.

Cold soba, seared scallops, furikake (or Japanese seasoned sprinkles), spring onions


We served it with leftover risoni salads. This was the first one, risoni with pumpkin

And cheat's version of baked carrots. I made this by microwaving the carrots for about 2mins, then finishing it off in a frypan with some oil and butter. When they were brown, I added apricot conserve mixed in a little water (rather than using honey), and also some dill.

It was all topped off with some cooked onion and dill (because I had leftover diced onions, not because I'm all fancy and stuff)

Boy did this taste fabulous! So drool-worthy!

Risoni salad #2: risoni with apples, and coriander....

And how the meal looks in its entirety.
We also had a very sad look leek in the fridge, so I cooked that up with some butter and nothing else. Not even salt. Vegies are amazing like that.

The noodles and scallops were finished off with a lemon, soy, honey, ginger, garlic dressing.
Perfection.

Here ya go, just to remind you how awesome scallops are. Check out that caramelisation, not bad eh? :Þ
