Soba Noodles n Potstickers

Simple yet delicious.

ps: It's great having frozen pork dumplings on hand, makes for super easy back up dinner when I don't feel like cooking or just don't have time on my hand.

ps: all soba noodles are served with soba sauce....

Soba and Eggs

Salmon Skin and Soba

Salmon skin coated lightly with potato starch and deep fried and salted.... the concept sounded like it would be tasty, but it turned out to be pretty oily... If there's a next time, I think we'd try just pan-frying it.

Eating the salmon skin with soba noodles balanced out the greasiness though so overall, it was a pretty tasty meal.
