Cooking the Buckwheat

Start by rinsing the buckwheat groats under cold water. Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the rinsed buckwheat. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain any excess water and set aside to cool.

Preparing the Hard-Boiled Eggs

Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover the saucepan, remove from heat, and let stand for 9-12 minutes. Remove the eggs from the water, cool in ice water, and then peel.

Cooking the Pork Loin

Season the pork loin with salt and pepper or other herbs of your choice. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and cook the pork loin for about 8-10 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Let it rest before slicing.

Preparing the Cucumber

Wash the cucumber and slice it thinly. You can peel the cucumber if preferred, but leaving the skin on provides additional fiber.
