Soba noodles are healthy and super versatile, yet so often I end up eating the same old zaru-soba (chilled soba with a tsuyu dipping sauce) that I thought it was time to spice things up a bit. This cookpad recipe is dirt cheap and dead easy, and considering the small amount of ingredients required to make it, the depth of flavour is superb.
Ingredients:
♥ 2 servings soba noodles (dry/fresh/boiled, anything is fine)
♥ 500ml water
♥ 1 teaspoon hondashi
♥ 3 tablespoons soy sauce
♥ 3 tablespoons mirin
♥ 1 beaten egg
♥ 1 tablespoon potato starch [片栗粉] mixed with 2 tablespoons water
♥ 1cm tube ginger / a teaspoon of fresh ginger
Optional: salad onions, cayenne pepper powder [一味唐辛子]
1. Prepare the soba noodles as directed on the packet (usually boil for a couple of minutes). Drain under ice water and chill in the fridge.
2. Add the water, hondashi, soy sauce and mirin to a saucepan. Once boiling, turn down to a simmer and slowly stir in the potato starch until the mixture thickens.
3. Slowly pour in the egg whilst mixing slowly.
4. Add in the ginger and soba noodles and bring back up to the boil for a couple of minutes.
5. Serve in a bowl with salad onions and pepper powder.
