OK. This is an acquired taste...I acquired it when I was in Japan during a hot humid summer. Nothing is more refreshing than eating cool noodles with lots of great stuff on it when you are hot and sweaty......... Read more ..Its also nice for the cook because you can make it in the morning before it gets stifling......if the idea of yam noodles turns you off....just make the same recipe with regular soba noodles................The recipes for the Croquettes and the Popeye are posted in my recipe page.

Ingredients

14 oz Dried Zaru soba noodles shopping list
For The Sauce: shopping list
4 Cups Kombu dashi broth (see note below) shopping list
1 Cup soy sauce shopping list
1/4 Cup mirin shopping list
wasabi paste shopping list
For The Toppings...any combination of one or several of the following: shopping list
scallions, chopped thin shopping list
2 Tbs rice seasoning or nori, thinly sliced shopping list
Cooked prawns shopping list
Seared Ahi tuna shopping list
tofu, cubed shopping list
Japanese Omelet, sliced thin shopping list
Sliced avocado shopping list
Note: Kumbo dashi is basically fish bullion with kelp. You can buy it without msg if you like, but be sure to get only dashi made in Japan. The Japanese are stricter about food safety than the USA even. I no longer buy ANYTHING food related from China. You can find Japanese cooking products in the Japanese isle of most Asain food markets. This is good. shopping list

How to make it

First make the sauce by bringing the dashi, soy,and mirin to a boil in a saucepan.
Boil for 3 mins. Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature. Add the wasabi paste to taste.
Boil the soba noodles in water for about 5 mins. Drain. Rinse. Drain. Pour into a bowl with ice cubes and cold water. Soak for 10 mins.
Put the noodles in a nice fancy big bowl or small individual bowls and pour the sauce on top. Top this with any or all of the toppings, the rice seasoning, and put the whole wonderful display into the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Japanese food is not as hard to make as you would think. It's fairly basic...you just rearrange the ingredients and amounts. It's a wonderful cuisine for people who love to chop and decorate...because the hard part, if any, is in the prep!
