Soba Recipe

Soba is a delicious light and refreshing noodle dish that can be eaten hot or cold. It is a very popular dish in Japan.

The noodles are made with buckwheat so they are a healthy alternative to ramen noodles. You can also find different varieties such as plum soba noodles or even green tea.

Traditionally during summer, cold soba noodles are eaten with a dipping sauce called mentsuyuu. Various garnishes such as scallions and seaweed are added to bring a variety of tastes and textures to the dish.
