Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I found this recipe online here: https://www.sbs.com.au/food/recipe/abura-soba/lews8g1jq I found the recipe really tricky to follow. It went through how to make each component in full rather than describing it the most efficient sequence to make the full recipe so there was lots of back and forth. It also mentioned a flavoured oil at the end which was not referred to in the rest of the recipe so I guessed it was the liquid the pork was cooked in (even though that was called the pork poaching liquid in the rest of the recipe). Not sure whether this was the same in the recipe book or whether it had been rearranged or shortened for the website. It didn't have much hands off time and was a pretty busy recipe to make. All that being said, this was so so tasty. Enjoyed by the whole family. I also made soy sauce eggs from another recipe to go with it.
