“Home is where peace is” is what I like to say. After a week in Dallas attending family functions, I was much relieved to be back home. Not that I am complaining but nothing can beat the feeling of being at home. The next day what my body wanted was fresh home cooked hot meal. I would have gone for something Indian but I wanted something quick and filling and this recipe meets the criteria to the point. Quick, healthy, warm. So if you are short on time but want to enjoy full meal. You should give this dish a try. There are already numerous ways of making soba noodles out there but this is one of my favorite. Heidi’s way is super simple and tasty.
