My sister commented that the dressing used in this soba noodle salad is way superior compared to the simple soy, sugar, mirin and vinegar dressing. I felt that both types of dressing worked very well except the former is nuttier than the latter.
This recipe involves some chopping and little cooking. It is ideal for those who do not want to mess up their kitchen.
