How to prepare Zaru Soba noodles
-
Prepare the ingredients
Green onions should be washed clean and chopped finely. For the wasabi, chop it finely and put everything into a bowl.
-
Make the dipping sauce
First, prepare a small pan. Add 60ml of sake and heat it over high heat to evaporate the alcohol.
Next, add 120ml of soy sauce, 120ml of mirin, a piece of kombu, and 160g of dried bonito flakes, then simmer the mixture over low heat for about 5 minutes.
When done, turn off the heat and let it cool completely. Prepare a strainer and filter the mixture into a bowl.

Blanch the noodles
You place a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil over medium heat. When the water is boiling, add the soba noodles and cook for about 10 minutes until the noodles are cooked and soft.
Tip:
- To separate the noodles, you should add them in a clockwise direction.
- Depending on the brand of soba noodles, the cooking time may vary.
- During cooking, stir regularly to prevent the noodles from sticking together.

Completion
After cooking, drain the soba noodles in a colander and rinse them under cold running water to remove the starch. Shake the colander to completely remove the water from the noodles, then place them in a bowl of ice water. Once the noodles are cool, remove them.
Use a bamboo strainer and place it on a plate. Next, add the noodles on top and sprinkle a little green onion, serving with the prepared soy sauce.
Now you can enjoy your dish.
