  10. NOTES : REVIEW - Refreshing. Usually we post share a recipe with our revisions. This time we are posting the original recipe and talking about what we did to reduce the calories from fat and some of the carbs. Used store-bought soba cooked quickly without oil in lightly salted water. Cooked the carrot along with the noodles: total 3 min. Liquid removed and rinsed well. Mirin (only 2 of the 3 tbs suggested) in the dressing. We greatly reduced the amount of sesame oil to drops (no more than 1/4-tsp) - till just sufficient to be aromatic. Used spring onion instead of leek. Doubled the garlic. Garnished with dry-pan toasted white and mixed with black sesame seeds. Omitted the kasha topping. Tossed together and marinated in the refrigerator for about 4 hrs. Added soy sauce and plum vinegar at table.*Our revised recipe: Calories 208 (26% from fat); 7 Total Fat; 3g Fiber [Allotted 4 maximum] (4 POINTS).
