Categories     Entree

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup dashi
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoons sake
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
2 servings soba noodles
1 teaspoon wasabi
1 scallion ((finely chopped))
50 grams daikon ((grated and drained))
1/2 sheet nori ((cut into thin strips with scissors))

Steps:

  • To make the dipping sauce, add the dashi, soy sauce, sake and sugar to a saucepan, and bring the mixture to a boil. Continue boiling for 1 minute to vaporize the alcohol in the sake and soy sauce. Set this aside to cool.
  • To boil the soba noodles, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the soba noodles and stir for about a minute to ensure the noodles don't stick together. Continue boiling the noodles for the amount of time specified on the package.
  • Transfer the noodles to a strainer using chopsticks or tongs (leaving the boiling liquid in the pot).
  • Wash the soba under cold running water to cool it to room temperature while removing any excess starch on the noodles' surface.
  • Transfer the soba to a bowl of ice water and let the noodles chill for a moment.
  • Serve the noodles by scooping small amounts of soba out of the ice water and bundling them up into small mounds on a zaru or large flat basket.
  • Serve immediately with the dipping sauce and condiments.
  • Once you've finished eating the cold soba, reheat the boiling liquid and serve it in a teapot to add to the remaining dipping sauce to make a broth.

COLD SOBA NOODLES WITH DIPPING SAUCE



Cold Soba Noodles With Dipping Sauce image

In Japan, where it gets plenty hot in the summer, cold soba noodles, served with a dipping sauce, are a common snack or light meal. Soba are brown noodles, made from wheat and buckwheat, and the sauce is based on dashi, the omnipresent Japanese stock. You would recognize the smell of dashi in an instant, even if you have never knowingly eaten it. It's a brilliant concoction based on kelp, a seaweed and dried bonito flakes. It is also among the fastest and easiest stocks you can make, and its two main ingredients - which you can buy in any store specializing in Asian foods - keep indefinitely in your pantry. I would encourage you to try making it, though you can also use chicken stock (or instant dashi, which is sold in the same stores).
