q: sounds good, tell me what do I need?
a: ok, first you’re gonna wanna get all your ingredients and supplies together. You’ll need a skillet and a pot, tongs, a mixing bowl and a whisk. For your ingredients, you need to get coconut milk, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grape seed oil, soy sauce, fresh ginger, fresh garlic, green onions, red onions, red chilies, buckwheat soba noodles, sea salt, regular salt, black peppercorns… oh, and the prawns.
q: ok, most of it sounds pretty normal, but where would I find buckwheat soba noodles and sea salt?
a: Really in just about any grocery store. I found buckwheat soba noodles in the organic section in Geant- they also they sell sea salt flakes.
q: cool, that’s settled. So what do I do with all this food now?
a: It would be easiest to measure and separate it all as follows for each piece of the dish… First get the prawns marinating (6 jumbo prawns / 100ml grape seed oil / 20gr of garlic sliced thin / freshly ground black pepper to your taste); then you’ll cook the soba noodles so they can get cool (2 liters of water to a boil / add 240ml of coconut milk / add sea salt to your taste – I recommend to where the boiling water tastes just a bit salty / add 100gr soba noodles and boil for about 5-6 minutes until cooked like spaghetti / strain, toss with grape seed oil and cool); then you’ll make the coconut soy vinaigrette while the noodles are cooling (put the following in a bowl and mix: 30ml coconut milk / 5ml rice vinegar / 15ml grape seed oil / 5ml sesame oil / 10ml honey / 5ml soy sauce / 5gr freshly grated ginger – and season all with salt and pepper to your taste); now you’ll toss the noodles with all the vinaigrette, 30gr of red onion sliced thin, 8gr of green onion sliced really thin, and 5gr of red chillies sliced really thin(more or less to your liking depending on how spicy you want it!); at this point you’ll pull the prawns from the marinade and season them to your liking with salt and pepper, put them on a skewer and sear them in a hot skillet. Now add those prawns to your noodles
q: looks really good, what now?
a: eat it, silly!
