Best Healing Soba Noodle Soup Recipes

HEALING SOBA NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Set a medium soup pot over medium-low heat. When hot, add the olive oil. Add the garlic, turmeric, and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute, until the garlic is just fragrant and softened. Add the broth, coconut milk, ginger, soba noodles, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Increase heat to high. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, until the noodles are cooked through.
• Taste and add additional salt if desired. Scoop into bowls and top with a bit (or a lot) of Sriracha sauce if desired.

SOBA NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oven (or a toaster oven) to 300. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In another large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil; stir in the bonito flakes, turn off the heat and steep for 10 minutes, no more. Strain into a large bowl; discard the flakes.
• Put the soy sauce, mirin, sugar and a pinch of salt in the pot you used to make the broth; bring to a boil. Let it boil for a minute, then add the bonito stock; bring it back to a boil, and transfer 6 cups to a separate pot and keep hot. (This will be the broth for the soup; what remains is for cooking the eggs.) Toast the nori in the oven until slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Cut into quarters and set aside. Crack the eggs into a bowl or a large measuring cup with a spout and beat until frothy.
• Cook the noodles in the boiling water until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes, then drain, quickly rinse under cold running water and drain again. Put a portion of noodles into each of four soup bowls. Using a circular pouring motion, slowly stream the eggs, 1/3 at a time, into the smaller amount of boiling broth; as the first third sets, add the second; as the second sets, add the third, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit for a minute. In the meantime ladle the stock (the one without the eggs in it) over the noodles. Use a slotted spoon to scoop a portion of the egg into each bowl, garnish with the nori and scallions and serve.
