Summer seems to have arrived in Singapore AGAIN. After the nice cool rain in January, the heat and humidity seems to be coming back with a vengeance. This is the kind of weather where one wishes for some nice cold noodles. It also helps that it is a quick and easy AND healthy one dish meal with minimal fuss and washing up.
Ingredients (for 2)
200g chicken breast
80g soba noodles
1 large firm tomato
.5 tbsp sesame oil
1 tray of ice cubes
peanut sauce - 4 heaped tbsp ground peanut, 1.5 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp light soy sauce, .5tbsp fish sauce, 8 tbsp water
Start by boiling 1 big pot of water for the noodles.
At the same time, put the chicken in another pot of water and start boiling the pot too.
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by mixing all the ingredient for the peanut sauce well.
Add pepper to taste.
Cook noodles in the boiling water.
Wash and dice tomato while waiting for noodles to cook.
Remove cooked noodles in strainer and rinse in cold water with ice cubes.
Add sesame oil to noodles while in strainer. Toss well.
Divide noodles into 2 bowls.
By this time, the chicken should be cooked. Remove chicken from pot and rinse in cold water. Shred by hand.

This makes a good one dish meal or cold appetizer which can be made before hand and kept in the fridge.
