Zaru Soba Recipe

Step 1

Make dipping sauce. In a pot, combine Soy Sauce, Sake, and Mirin and cook at medium heat. Add Katsuobushi dried bonito flakes. Let boil for a minute, remove from heat, and cool in the pot. Strain Katsuobushi. Mix the sauce with water. If you are using Mentsuyu instead of Dipping Sauce, simply mix Mentsuyu and water. Set aside.

Step 2

In rolling boiling water in a big pot, add dried Soba noodles and stir. After coming back to a boil, cook for 3-4 minutes (follow the instructions on the package). Strain (and keep the water as Sobayu later if you like) and cool Soba under running water a bit. Chill in ice water for a couple of minutes. Then strain again.

Step 3

Place Soba on plates and top with shredded Roasted Seaweed. Serve with Dipping sauce, sliced green onions, and wasabi.
