Cold Soba with Nuts Dipping Sauce

It is getting hotter and hotter in Singapore . Cold Soba is wonderful fast meal in such a hot days that cools you down and will refresh you.
For the dipping sauce , normally combine dashi stock ,soysauce and mirin then heat and chill .But today , I've added some cashewnuts and almonds .These nuts works well for increasing its flavour and adding some richness .

Chopped spring onions and nori seaweed are ideal spices .(Not wasabi for this)
Believe it or not , you are allowed to make huge noises when you suck in noodles , well at least in my country .
Give it a try.It might taste better when you make noise .

Plum Crumbles

I found these incredibly fragrant plums the other day.
After being marinated with sugar for a few days , the plums have got ready to be good friends of crumbles'.

whoever came up with the idea crumbles first, he/she must be a genius .
