Improvising to Satisfy our Craving
It was a few hours after dinner when our grumbling tummies lead us to the kitchen cupboard. Gathering this and that, we came up with this
we had bought this pack of noodles a while back but never got the chance to use it
but tonight, the noodles met extremes of temperatures
we cooked the soba for 6 minutes
and immediately submerged it in iced water
this avoids over cooking which can lead to soggy soba!
the cooled noodles were then placed it in our plastic improvised zaru
then we got to work on making the dipping sauce. 60% cold water and 40% tempura soy sauce with wasabi to your hearts desire makes a great partner for the cold soba!
what a simple snack that deliciously satisfied our midnight craving!
we must get ourselves an authentic zaru! but for now, this will do…
what are you craving for this evening?
heehee. that’s what i usually have on hot summer days 😉 fuss-free and easy to make. i love cold udon salads too 😉
I like cold soba! Whenever we have breaded fish fillets for dinner, my baon on the following day is cold soba with a sweetish sauce topped with a slab of fish. It beats all the calorific things from the cafeteria. ;D
yummmmyyyy!!! my husband and i did this too… but we used mirin and the regular kikkoman 🙂
I love soba! 🙂
Right now I’m craving for Lucky Me noodles. LOL!
So great, simple and delicious!
Cold soba noodles – yum! I was thinking about making this for dinner tonight but we’ve had noodles for the past two evenings. The hubby wants something different but I’ll come back to this!
