One of my favourite dishes to order when I’m at a Japanese restaurant is cold buckwheat noodles or cold soba. I like that it’s an interactive dish, requiring the diner to prepare the dipping sauce to their own taste, after which the cold noodles are dunked into.
Sometimes, the dish is served with a raw quail egg which is intended to be added to the dipping sauce. I tried doing that once, dipped my cold noodles into the cold sauce which had the raw egg, sliced spring onions and grated white radish in it and tasted it. And almost puked. All I could taste was the raw egg. And every time I licked my lips, more raw egg. So much ugh.
Since that one failed culinary experiment, every time there was a quail egg served with my cold soba, I’d pass the raw egg to one of my siblings to add to their cold soba. They seemed to think nothing of the egg-y taste in their dipping sauce. Ugh. Recently though, since my siblings aren’t around when I indulge in this favourite dish of mine, I’d just glare at that raw quail egg wishing it wasn’t there.
Have you ever eaten (or slurped) a raw egg? Did you like it? (Ugh)
No raw eggs for me either! I like to make cold noodles with sesame sauce. No eggs needed! 😀

Cold noodles with sesame sauce? Is it a dry dish or a soupy one?

It’s like pasta dish. I combine sesame butter, soy sauce, and a little honey, garlic, red pepper flakes. Mix with the cooked noodles and top with toasted sesame seeds. This isn’t the traditional Chinese version though. I make it with ingredients I always have in the pantry 🙂

Can’t imagine those folks who drink raw eggs in the morning to gain more bulk. Ugh.

Never had a raw egg but if I ever get the opportunity, I’ll think of you and let you know how it goes. Haha! I do like soft boiled and poached eggs but both of those are served warm.

I don’t think I’ll ever, ever have raw egg again. Ugh. Yes, please let me know what your experience was like if you ever have a raw egg.
