Farmers' Market Salad Udon

We finally checked out the Farmers' Market @ Kapiolani Community College this morning. When we arrived around 8:30, the place was PACKED with people! Apparently it's one of the biggest farmers' markets in Oahu, and with all it offers to see and eat, it seems to attract a lot of tourists too. Some of the highlights of our visit were:

• The many beautiful flowers.
  
• Lots of local fruit like apple-bananas, papayas, lychee, mangoes, pineapples...definitely different from our usual fruit shopping at Costco. Looking forward to trying them this week.
  
• Tasty-looking food vendors. The longest line was for fried green tomatoes, and the hot Hawaiian breakfast plates people were eating looked very good, but we ended up just getting a kalua pork slider on a taro bun (very tasty) and a blueberry cranberry muffin(average).

So for tonight's salad udon we used a lot of the veggies we got at the farmers' market this morning, plus some seaweed and shabu shabu pork slices. Yes we piled on the veggies so high that you can barely see the udon underneath it all, but it's there. After a nice light dinner, we stuffed ourselves with the blueberry cranberry muffin and decided that we missed the muffins from Arizmendi.
