Description
Zaru soba is a refreshing Japanese dish of chilled buckwheat noodles served on a bamboo tray with a dipping sauce called tsuyu, often accompanied by green onions and wasabi.
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook according to the package instructions (usually 4 – 5 minutes).
- Drain and rinse the noodles thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess starch. Set aside in a bowl of ice water to chill, or strain in cold water until cool.
- In a small saucepan, combine dashi, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar (if using).
- Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then remove from the heat. Allow the sauce to cool, then transfer to the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Divide the chilled soba noodles onto bamboo mats or plates. Pour the dipping sauce into small individual bowls. Serve with optional toppings like sliced green onion, grated daikon, or a dab of wasabi.
