This is a refreshing cold soba dish topped with sliced zucchini. Using canned mackerel makes it quick and easy, while also providing great nutrition.
Recipe background: I created this cold soba variation using ingredients I had at home. The grilled zucchini is delicious. You can also try this with somen noodles.
