Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chilled Zaru Soba Noodles.
Step 1
Start by bringing a pot of lightly salted water to a gentle boil.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling, add in the soba noodles and stir them occasionally.
Step 3
Cook the noodles until they’re tender, which should take about 5 to 8 minutes.
Step 4
When they’re ready, drain the noodles and give them a quick rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool them down.
Step 5
While the noodles are cooling, grab a small saucepan and mix together the dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, and a touch of white sugar.
Step 6
Heat this mixture until it reaches a boil, then take it off the heat and let it cool to room temperature—this should take around 25 minutes.
Step 7
Once your noodles are nice and cool, toss them with some sesame seeds for a delightful crunch.
Step 8
Divide the noodles into four serving bowls, and generously spoon the cooled dashi sauce over the top.
Step 9
For the finishing touch, sprinkle on some chopped green onions and, if you like, add a few strips of nori for extra flavor.
Step 10
Enjoy this delicious dish that’s not only satisfying but also brings a taste of Japan right to your kitchen!.
