Soba Noodles With Green Onion Broth Recipes

SOBA NOODLES WITH GREEN ONION BROTH

Steps:

• Cook soba noodles according to package directions, drain and rinse with cold water.
• Bring chicken broth, dry sherry, sugar, soy sauce, ginger and about 3/4 of the green onions to a boil. Simmer while the egg is cooking.
• Beat eggs in small bowl with a dash of soy sauce. Cook egg pancake in a covered omlette pan sprayed with Pam. Cut into slices.
• Arrange some noodles and egg slices in an individual serving bowl and garnish with some of the remaining green onions. Cover with broth. Sprinkle hot pepper flakes on if desired.

SOBA NOODLES WITH GINGER BROTH AND CRUNCHY GINGER

Steps:

• First, prepare the toppings: Add 4 tablespoons oil to a large skillet and heat gently over medium. Place the red-pepper (chilli) flakes and paprika into a small heatproof bowl. Once the oil is quite hot but not smoking, pour it over the spices. Set aside to infuse as you make the ginger crumbs.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the same skillet and heat over medium-high. Once hot, turn the heat back down to medium and add the ginger and shallot. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often, until nicely browned and starting to crisp. Add the panko, sesame seeds and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook for 4 to 6 minutes more, stirring often, until nicely toasted. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Meanwhile, make the broth: Add all the broth ingredients plus 3/4 cup/200 milliliters water and 1 teaspoon salt to a medium lidded saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover once simmering, turn the heat down to low and cook for 25 minutes. Drain through a sieve set over a bowl, discarding the solids, and return the broth to the saucepan along with another 1 1/4 cups/300 milliliters hot water. Keep warm over low heat until ready to serve.
• Prepare the noodles: Boil them in a pot or saucepan according to package instructions, or for 5 minutes in plenty of boiling water. Drain well and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Return the drained noodles to the pot or saucepan and toss with the lime juice, soy sauce and cilantro (coriander).
• Divide the warm broth across four bowls, then use a fork to twist and gather the noodles and nest them artfully in the bowls. Top with a spoonful of the ginger crumbs and the chile oil, serving the remaining alongside.

SOBA WITH CHICKENJU AND GREEN ONIONS

Steps:

• Trim roots and outside leaves from scallions, halve or quarter them lengthwise, then cut them in 2-inch lengths. Set aside.
• Bring the water to a boil and add noodles and boil until they are just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and rinse them well under cold running water to remove surface starch.
• In a separate saucepan, heat the dashi or stock to a simmer. Add soy sauces, sugar, rice wine and salt. Simmer 5 minutes. Add chicken pieces and simmer about 10 minutes, skimming off any foam. Add scallions and cook 1 minute longer.
• Reheat noodles by placing them in a sieve and immersing them in a pot of boiling water for 1 minute. Drain and divide the noodles among four deep bowls. Reheat broth and ladle it with the chicken and scallions over the noodles. Serve at once with pepper on the side.
