The other night I cooked a delicious roast chicken. Rosemary, thyme, butter. It was a fantastic recipe that I’ll be sure to share. For some reason, however, I felt the need to swing the opposite direction for awhile after partaking in a meat-centered meal. On tonight’s menu was Sticky Rice Balls with Dried Shrimp and Sausage, but I just couldn’t get my mind around having that for dinner. 
I searched through the cupboard, unearthed a package of soba noodles, and remembered a recipe from The Way The Cookie Crumbles. I used it as a jumping off point for our dinner and made a fantastic vegan soba noodle salad.
