Ginger Soba Noodles

1. 1

   Boil water and prepare soba noodles according to package directions.

   Saute for about 6-8 minutes, turning often to brown all sides of the blocks.

   Either whisk together or blend in a blender (I use a Magic Bullet).

10. 10

    Pour dressing over and toss.

    This can be eaten immediately, but I recommend refrigerating for one hour, then letting it come to room temperature.
