SOBA FAST

Supa Fast Noodles

this recipe is so fast I'm almost done with it now! 

It's an Asian noodly yum I invented when I was feeling like something a little saucy/salty. This recipe will leave you waving your chopsticks in the air, begging for more!

Ingredients:  SOBA noodles - a buckwheat pasta  sold in the Asian aisle

                     sesame oil

                     tamari (or soy sauce)

                     frozen spinach

                     can of oily tuna (do not use the narsty white "tuna packed in water" or you will keel over  

                         choking on a gob of dry, imitation tuna product that tastes like a 70's rubber Barbie doll foot-

                         and please 

                                don't ask how I know what that tastes like...memory is too painful)  squeeze out a

                                little of the oil

                                    from the can

o  boil a pot of water.

o  when the water is in a rolling boil, throw the noodles in, wait for it to boil again, then turn down the temp a little bit.  If you don't, the starch from the noodles will cause your pot of water to erupt like Mt. St. Helens - not so fab unless you're aiming to impress your friends with a fun volcano demonstration before dinner - which won't exist unless you're into frozen spinach for dinner cause that's all that'll be left, bucko. 

o  in 2 minutes or so throw in a big hunk or a couple cups of frozen spinach..your water will sit there for a minute, confused, sad, and pissy because of the spinach ruining the fun, so turn up the heat a tad to get things moving again, then turn it down again a bit otherwise you'll have a GREEN volcano science project to clean up. 

o  after about 2 minutes, test a noodle - if it's soft, you're done.

o  drain mixture, throw in a big bowl, and add about TBSP of sesame oil, a good splash of tamari, and your can of delicious, oily tuna. Stir around with your chopsticks and bon appetit! or rather douzo meshiagare!!
