Shredded Chicken Cold Dish + Japanese Soba

To ease the heat on a hot summer night, what's better than having a nice cold dish and a glass of chilled white wine for dinner!!! This dish is so easy to make, although it does sound a bit bland, but once you add the sauce in, it's absolutely divine! Sauce is the magic!

I've used chicken thigh fillet with all the fat trimmed off, but of course you can go for a healthier option of using chicken breast! I cooked the chicken in salted water till it's thoroughly cooked through, then drain and leave it to cool and shred. Then I sliced up one lebanese cucumber and put it aside, then cracked 3 eggs with a little salt and did an omlette and sliced it up again.

Now here comes the magic sauce! To be honest I don't know the exact measurement for each ingredient, but you can just adjust to your own liking! OK... note this down!!! Chopped garlic, soy sauce, chili oil, sugar and black vinegar. If you like, add some sliced chili in for some colour!

And for the soba noodle, just cook it in a pot of salted boiling water, then drain and run under cold or even iced water, then top with some shredded seaweed and a sprinkle of sesame. And for the sauce, you can easily get it from any Asian grocery store!

Note: excuse my shredded chicken, if I had the time I'd have shredded it more nicely instead of having chunks in there! Oh well... it was a week night dinner, so time was crucial, I really didn't want to have dinner at 9pm and hug my tummy to sleep!!!! =P
