SOBA NOODLES
Soba is a Japanese noodle made from buckwheat (“soba” means “buckwheat”) and wheat flour, which gives it a dark brownish-gray color. It’s a noodle of medium thickness that’s used in a variety of Asian dishes.
Varieties
Soba is available in several varieties, including jenenjo soba, which contains wild yam flour; cha soba, made with tea leaves and buckwheat; and youmugi soba, made with buckwheat and mugwort.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Add noodles a few at a time to boiling water. To prevent noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pan, stir gently until the water returns to a rapid boil. Cook for eight to ten minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Add to soups and stir-fried dishes, or toss with sautéed kale and shiitake mushrooms.
