    @helloalissa He! He! I bit cheeky I know, but my culinary skills don't extend very far. To be honest though, this supermarket hiyashi chuka tasted pretty good. It's also a good summer dish for me, too. I don't have a massive appetite at the best of times (I'm a 'grazer' - I like to snack throughout the day) but in summer it goes almost completely. Hiyashi chuka is good for me in this respect.
