Hiyashi Chuka {Cold Soba} 鸡肉蔬菜荞麦冷面

When the weather is hot, I always find myself craving something refreshing and easy to put together. That’s where this simple version of hiyashi chuka comes in. My take on this dish is all about keeping things fuss-free with cold soba noodles and a homemade dressing that’s light yet flavourful. From there, it’s really up to whatever you have on hand. For this version, I topped my noodles with pan-fried chicken breast, mushrooms, vegetables, egg, tobiko, and crab sticks. The combination gives a nice balance of textures and flavours, the kind of meal that looks colourful, tastes good, and doesn’t require too much effort. 

Ingredients for the dressing:

Rice-based food art ~ Cute Bunny Witch On the Broom Halloween Theme Bento/ Lunch box.

Everything in this lunchbox are edible, except the ghost and pumpkin food picks!

What's in the bento box: The bunny is made of rice, below the seaweed are chicken meat and some rice. The bunny's witch hat and cape are made of sweet potato sheets, the broom is made of biscuit and tortilla wrap. Yellow buildings are Tamagoyaki/ rolled egg omelette and at the side are spinach and lettuce.

Marinade:

1 tsp Tapioca Flour

Method: 

1. Combine pork and the marinade, let marinate for 30 minutes. Heat some oil, stir-fry the garlic and onion till aromatic.

2. Stir-fry the pork followed by the potatoes, add a few dashes of black pepper while stir-frying. 

3. Add carrot, stir in sauce and some water. Cover and pressure cook for 3-5 minutes (NPR) or simmer until the potatoes are tender. Adjust the cooking time according to the thickness/ size of the ingredients. Serve warm with steamed rice.

Note: If you're using shabu-shabu pork, just simmer till all the ingredients are cooked through. Use pressure cook function if you're using sliced pork which is thicker/ tougher and takes longer time to tenderise. Use the reversible rack if you're cooking it together with rice. Adjust the taste with more/ less light soy sauce.
