Sesame and Ginger Noodle Salad

Yannick was excited to hear the weather forecast announcing snow last week. How beautiful and romantic it would be!



But it's the fifth day that we have been snowed in and there's no end in sight. Yannick is amusing himself endlessly with birds and squirrels.


And for me it's kitchen time. Today lunch was sesame and ginger noodle salad which I served with okonomiyaki which is a kind of Japanese pancake. The noodle salad was very quick and easy to put together. It was tasty and refreshing.
