Unripe chalky mango is the worst!!! It’s so disappointing. I do have a package of soba noodles in my pantry…
Haha unripe mango is one of my pet peeves… well actually all unripe fruit!
I’ve actually never tried mango in a savory dish before… Now I’m curious!
Unripe mango is the pits, you are right. Chalky is a great word for it! This soba dish looks wonderful – great combination of flavours!
I’ve taken a bite of unripe mango, so stringent! Although it’s common to eat them green in some countries like Thailand.
I am sadly lacking any soba noodle skills. I always make the same sad soup. This inspires me to break out of my noodle hum drums… GREG
That’s an innovative and delicious combination!
All over it! What an innovative idea! Thanks for sharing sweet girl. I hope are you having a good week. We’re staying WARM in Austin!
This looks so interesting – heading over to check it out!!
Mango and eggplant sounds like an interesting combo….would love to try it!
I love soba noodles!
aaaah, I just got Ottolenghi’s cookbook and LOVE it. This dish is definitely on the list of things to make.
If that plate comes up missing…I’m innocent! O;-) I LOOOOOVE it!
You know I will like this one! I’m off to check it out!
You got all my favorite ingredients in one plate. Loving it.
I bought soba noodles a few days ago with no definite plan. Thanks for supplying the plan. And for having it include mango.
Oh no- unripe mango, yuck! Heading over..
Ahhh…if only my husband liked mangoes….alas
I love that photo! The dish sounds tasty too.
unripe mango = no good. I have some soba noodles in the freezer. This would be perfect! BTW…the Spicy Chipotle Honey Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Winter Squash was incredible! Hubby kept saying with each bite how delicious it was. Thank you!
This looks delicious! And, I am loving that plate! It’s beautiful!
sooo hungry and this look ssoooo good.

Soba noodles are my all time favourite. They go great with anything and are fab on their own. Love the combo of mango and eggplant 🙂
I feast for the eyes, this is good stuff.
This looks tasty. For a minute, I thought the mango was avocado, and that sounds tasty, too. Will go check out the recipe now. Thanks for all the inspiring food you serve here 🙂
you had me at MANGO!
Oh YES, I know this one well! You go, girl! 🙂
Tempting click and looks so good!
Eggplant and mango together? Forever? Sounds very interesting and flavorful. I must try this.
I love soba noodles – they are extremely addicting! Off to check out the recipe 🙂
p.s. Oh man, I can’t comment because I’m not on facebook 🙁
We had the worst mango this year and I’m not ready to get back on that horse. It was insipid and made me sick later that night.
This is my first time here and I’m glad I popped by because your recipes are delightful! I have a pack of soba left and as I was getting sick with the normal peanut sauce and mirin dips, this came at the right time – I’d never had thought of an eggplant and mango combo!
I loooooooove that photo. The way the noodles are and the fork and not too much on the plate, it’s just perfect. (And looks delicious too of course!)
