Best Chicken And Scallion Soba Recipes

CHICKEN AND SCALLION SOBA

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, remove any fat or gristle from the chicken. Cut along the length into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide. Cut crosswise into pieces about 1/2 inch long. Place the pieces in a bowl, and add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce plus the sake and the ginger root. Toss lightly to coat, and set aside.
• Cut the scallions on the diagonal into 1/2-inch lengths and set aside, reserving the green sections from 4 scallions. Finely mince the green sections, and set aside.
• In a large pot, heat 3 quarts of water for the noodles. Scatter the noodles over the surface. Once the water reaches a boil, cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until just tender. Drain the noodles in a colander, and rinse under cold running water to remove the starch. Drain again, and divide noodles among six large soup bowls.
• In another pot, combine the dashi, mirin and remainder of the soy sauce, and heat to a gentle boil. Add the chicken pieces, and cook about 5 to 7 minutes, until the chicken is tender. Skim off any impurities from the top. Add the scallion sections, and continue cooking for 1 minute.
• Apportion the mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with the minced scallion greens, and serve immediately.
