Know how - Soba noodles

These buckwheat noodles can be found in Sainsbury's, Asian and health food stores, or online. If you can't get hold of them, wholewheat spaghetti or linguine are good alternatives, or you could use thin Asian rice noodles, which are available in many supermarkets.

    Buckwheat flour is gluten-free. Always check the list of ingrediants to make sure there is no added wheat.

    Goes very well with crispy seaweed (well, it was kale, but you get the idea). Didn't think it would actually taste very citrus-y, but it did!
