These green-coloured noodles are called ‘Cha Soba’. They are green because Matcha (ground green tea leaves) is mixed with buckwheat and wheat flour. But you can hardly taste Matcha. This extremely healthy-looking salad should be all green, and that means you can add anything green. The dressing is not quite green but green Wasabi paste is the key ingredient of the dressing. If you don’t like Wasabi, enjoy the salad with your favourite dressing. My 'Onion & Balsamic Sauce' is also nice.
