CHILLED JAPANESE SOBA WITH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and cook the Buckwheat noodles a few minutes. Drain and refresh under cold running water. Hold noodles in a bowl with cold water until ready to serve. Mix ginger, scallion and anchovy paste and set aside. In a small saucepan bring soy sauce, Mirin and vinegar to taste, to a boil. Mix this warm liquid into ginger, scallion and anchovy paste and season to taste with sugar, salt and pepper. Transfer this to 4 small dipping bowls. Drain noodles and portion out into 4 small bowls; top each portion with some julienned carrot. Toast sheet of Nori over an electric burner or place in a hot cast iron or heavy skillet and cook until crisp and crumble it over the soba and carrot. Dip noodles in sauce, and enjoy.

NOODLE DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the dashi, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar in a saucepan and bring just to a boil. Stir in the bonito flakes and immediately remove from the heat. Wait about 10 seconds for the flakes to get thoroughly soaked, and then strain. Let liquid cool to room temperature. Serve with cold soba noodles for dipping, along with scallions, grated daikon, quail eggs and natto if you have a taste for it.

COLD SOBA NOODLES WITH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Cook noodles until tender but not mushy. Drain, and quickly rinse under cold running water until cold. Drain well.
• Combine dashi or stock, soy sauce and mirin. Taste, and add a little more soy if the flavor is not strong enough. Serve noodles with garnishes, with sauce on side for dipping (or spooning over).
