Soba Noodles - Quick, nutritious & delicious
Hakubaku makes my favorite organic soba and udon -- they've got a really helpful and informative website with great recipes and information. I can't do much better than their website -- here are some basic facts:
- Soba noodles are thin Japanese noodles about the size of spaghetti
- They are made of buckwheat flour (soba-ko) and wheat flour (komugi-ko).
The most basic soba dish is zaru soba in which boiled, cold soba noodles are eaten with a soya based dipping sauce (tsuyu)
