🍜 Soba noodles are thin Japanese noodles made from buckwheat flour. They have a nutty flavor and a slightly chewy texture. They’re often served cold with a dipping sauce, or hot in a broth-based soup. This dish is both refreshing and comforting, perfect for any meal of the day!
🍴 Recipe: Cold Soba Noodles with Dipping Sauce
Ingredients:
– 120g soba noodles
– 2 cups dashi (Japanese fish stock) or water
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tbsp mirin (sweet rice wine)
– 2 tbsp sake
– 1 tbsp sugar
– 1 tsp grated ginger
– 1 green onion, thinly sliced
– Wasabi paste (optional)
Instructions:
1. Cook the soba noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch. Set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, combine dashi or water, soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and grated ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
3. Divide the soba noodles among serving bowls. Pour the dipping sauce over the noodles and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve with a small dish of wasabi paste on the side, if desired. Enjoy your refreshing cold soba noodles! 🍴💕
