Cold Soba for Idiots

Copy & Paste into your blog!

Ingredients

• Packet of Soba noodles
• Egg
• Cucumber
• Shallots
• Mirin, Soy Sauce, Dashi stock (or just buy Soba sauce mix if too lazy to mix it)

Noodles: 1. Boil until al-dente. Leave to cool. Serve with Ice to ensure it stays moist.

Egg: 1. Mix 2 to 3 eggs together with a dash of Mirin and Seseame Oil (to taste, but not too much). 2. Fry in large pan. 3. Fold the egg like a squashed poster. Slice into thin stips

Soba Sauce (if mixing your own): 2.5 part mirin 1.5 part dashi stock 1 part soy sauce I use the packet dashi stock which disolves in hot water. Mix the mirin and soy sauce after the dashi stock cools a bit in the pot.

Other: Slice shallots and cucumber finely.

Serve with Wasabi to add to the sauce for extra spice.

  I used to live in southern Japan and there was a soba place I used to go to all the time that had the most amazing tsuyu (the dipping sauce). It had a unique, sweet flavour that no place ever since has come close to replicating - and I visit a lot of different soba restaurants. Some day I have to go back to that original place and ask them what the hell is in their tsuyu...
