Instructions: I like to top my cold soba (Japanese green tea noodles) with sliced scallions and thin strips of nori (seaweed). They add a little "crunch" to the dish.

I usually serve Cold Soba by placing a sushi mat on top of a rectangular dish (to collect water from melting ice) and placing loads of ice cubes on top of the mat. Layer the noodles on top of the ice and place chopped scallions and seaweed on top. Everyone gets a dish of the cold sauce with more chopped scallions in it and some Japanese pepper flakes for those who like it spicy. Sometimes I have raw quails eggs and slices of ham to put in the sauce for some guests.
