May. 2nd, 2009 01:10 pmToday I did not go to the farmer's market. I didn't really cook much last week, so I still have a lot of food. (Except broccoli. Completely out of broccoli, which I will remedy at the co-op. And I think I might invite the couple I've been doing Taiji with to the farmer's market with me next week - I suspect they would like the fresh produce. Also, more vocabulary challenges - today was "So where did you learn all of this stuff, because this is very specifically Chinese martial arts you're doing." They did not add "and you're an oversized white girl." Oh, and they wanted to know about the stuff that isn't Taiji, which got complicated, and my family... Tomorrow I shall ask them more questions, as today I was barely managing to keep on top of theirs.)
But for lunch I made this:
Put water on to boil.
Half fill a bowl with edamame and peas.
Put one bundle of soba in water.
When soba is tender, fish it out and drop it in cold water.
Poach duck egg* in water from soba.
While egg is poaching, mix soba with peas and edamame. Add a little tamari, some sesame oil, some shredded nori and sesame seeds... y'know, stuff.
Put poached egg on top.
I had not realized how rich buckwheat (and therefore soba) is in lysine. Nomnom.
Okay. I think slugs have been lulled into a sense of complacency. Now I will make slug movies.
* Really, I'm not trying to increase my egg consumption this much, but last week at the farmer's market one of the vendors recognized me as the person who is always looking for duck eggs and ran halfway across the square to tell me she had some. What was I going to do? Duck eggs are awesome. (And considering my ridiculously low cholesterol... well, really, mostly just looking at a chance of increased hormone production. Hey, I wonder if that also plays into Beltane?)
