Satisfying Soba

I love buckwheat soba noodles.  They cook up very quickly - 6 or 7 minutes - and can be eaten hot or cold, in soups or salads, and are filling and tasty.  No brand loyalty for me here;  I buy whatever I find as they all seem similar in nutrients and calories.
This recipe came from Harvey Pasternak's 5 Factor Diet.  I made it pretty much as written with a couple of minor changes (which I indicate in parenthesis like this).  It is really good and we have had it several times. 

In Japan, soba noodles are served hot and cold, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you can't find them; substitute whole-wheat spaghettini or vermicelli.
