Homefront

Hello dears! So, there are some fun ideas floating around for our condo, but for now this homefront will be a yummy recipe that I tried last week and we loved it! It is from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food magazine that I absolutely LOVE. I am officially in love with soba noodles and this recipe is a great introduction if you've never tried them before. I got them at Kroger (no need for a fancy store) for $2.50 in the Asian food section.

Ingredients:
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
1 cup fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 teaspoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
12 ounces chicken cutlets
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 package (8.8 ounces) soba (Japanese buckwheat) noodles

Directions:
In a food processor, finely chop scallions, cilantro, parsley, garlic, and ginger with vinegar and 1 tablespoon oil. Transfer to a bowl.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Season chicken with cayenne, salt, and pepper. Working in batches, cook, turning once, until opaque throughout, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board; let cool 5 minutes, and thinly slice.
Cook soba according to package instructions. Drain; toss with herb mixture. Serve chicken with soba; garnish with cilantro.

Bon Appetit!
