So... let's eat!
This time of year of course is comfort food season and that's about the only good thing I have to say about the wintertime. But even during the wintertime I enjoy something from the lighter side of the menu now and then. And no this is not bland and boring!
This is a summertime dish but it's flavorful and refreshing anytime. Nothing could be easier to prepare.
Blanch some celery stalks in boiling water for a minute. Fish them out and shock them in ice water. Take them out and dry them in some paper towels. Split them down the middle and slice them into sections - however you like. Anywhere from 1/4 inch to an inch or so. Just make them uniform.
The dressing:
- Two tablespoons soy sauce
- Two tablespoons sesame oil (Sesame oil is good stuff. Use it more often!)
- One tablespoon honey
- One teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- Some finely chopped red onion
- Some jalapeƱo or serano wheels
Whisk the dressing ingredients together. Sometimes I add a little sriracha sauce.
Pour the dressing over the celery and noodles and toss them together.
Hmmmm...what on earth would you pair with Celery Salad on Soba Noodles? Well I just happen to have (smack my forehead) - sake in the frig! Yes. Goes perfectly.
