"   A few weeks ago, Mark Bittman made a list of 101 simple meals ready in 10 minutes or less. Lots of seafood, which is almost always super-quick; lots of eggs. He cheated a little and included a few pasta dishes, admitting that boiling water takes more time but sharing a number of speedy sauces. He also reminded me of a elegantly simple lunch I once had in a Midtown Japanese restaurant, cold somen noodles with a soy dipping sauce. That was the recipe I chose to make. I bought organic buckwheat noodles at the Japanese grocer, but I think you can find them in a regular grocery store, too. Start your water boiling, then throw them in. They cook more quickly than traditional pasta, so you have to be fast mine stayed in the boiling water a minute longer than the suggested 3 minutes. The noodles turned out a bit sticky, which would&amp;#039;ve been remedied, I believe, by the quick cold-water rinse Bittman suggested. I grated fresh ginger (which turns it pulpy) into a mixture of soy sauce, sugar and rice vinegar (Bittman&amp;#039;s sauce is just soy sauce, minced ginger and mirin or sake, which I didn&amp;#039;t have). My son loves plain, cubed tofu, so I added that to our plates, and rounded it out with some steamed broccoli with soy sauce.  This was such a subtle, simple dinner. The bland, cold cubes of tofu, the tense and supple noodles and the acidic dipping sauce are all cool and refreshing in the summer heat. Here are a few recipes that incorporate some of Bittman&amp;#039;s tricks: thin cuts of meat, quick-cooking shrimp or sandwiches that just need a press.
