Buckwheat Noodles With Ginger and Miso image

Buckwheat noodles are often served cold in Japan and Korea, and are especially welcome during hot weather. To appreciate buckwheat's delicious nutty flavor, look 100% buckwheat noodles in Asian groceries. The bright, gingery dressing needs a little spiciness, so use a good pinch of cayenne or other hot pepper. This version is meant to be a small first-course salad. Add slices of grilled chicken to make it more of a meal.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The noodles were cooked well and the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend using less ginger next time.
