Soba Noodle Salad with Soy and Citrus Dressing

First place the beansprouts in cold salted water for 10 minutes, then drain them in a colander and dry them in a clean tea cloth.

Wakame needs to be covered with cold water and soaked for 5 minutes, then drained and chopped, and the seaweed needs to be soaked in cold water for 15 minutes, then drained. Now heat the oil in a frying pan, add the soaked seaweed and toss it in the hot oil for about 1 minute. After that, pour in the soy sauce, then stir it around for another 5 minutes until all the soy has been absorbed. You'll find the little pieces of seaweed will have reduced in size, but that's quite normal. Next make up the dressing by shaking the ingredients together in a screw-top jar.

Then, to cook the noodles, place them in boiling water with a little added salt and boil without a lid for 3 minutes exactly. Tip them into a colander and place under cold running water until they are completely cold. Then give the colander a good shake to get rid of any excess water. Finally, mix all the salad ingredients together in a large bowl, tossing to coat thoroughly with the dressing.

Serve with some extra soy sauce on the table.
