Fair enough- riff as you will! I did them in a hot cast-iron spiller this time and it only took a few minutes.

Susan, I made this salad from your lovely "Open Kitchen" when that book first came out. Your headnote advises that, apart from the strawberries, it can marinate for a while. I found that my soba got grainy in texture from sitting in the dressing. I suspect it was the brand of dried soba. Your post reminded me how much I liked the taste of this unusual recipe, so I'm going to try it again, this time with the excellent fresh Korean soba I've been buying lately.

Some soba gets mushy- a combo of wheat and buckwheat is best. I'm glad you like it!
