SOBA NOODLES WITH CHILLED DASHI



Soba Noodles With Chilled Dashi image

Grab-and-go offerings of picnicky food are almost universally mediocre and exasperatingly expensive. Resist the temptation to outsource and make your own. This recipe is built to last. You can make it a day or two ahead of time, or leave it out on the counter if you're going to eat these noodles within a few hours of making it.

Number Of Ingredients 7

dried kelp
4 cups of water
1/2 cup dried bonito flakes
soy sauce
soba noodles
sesame oil
chopped scallions.

Steps:

  • To make dashi, combine a piece of dried kelp (kombu) and 4 cups of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Don't let the mixture boil; as soon as it's about to, turn off the heat, and remove the kelp.
  • Add ½ cup dried bonito flakes, and stir; let sit for a few minutes, then strain, add some soy sauce to taste and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
  • Cook some soba noodles, and rinse under cold water to cool them down; toss with a little neutral or sesame oil to prevent them from sticking.
  • To serve, pour some of the cold dashi into bowls and top with the noodles. Garnish: Chopped scallions.

COLD SOBA NOODLES WITH DIPPING SAUCE



Cold Soba Noodles With Dipping Sauce image

In Japan, where it gets plenty hot in the summer, cold soba noodles, served with a dipping sauce, are a common snack or light meal. Soba are brown noodles, made from wheat and buckwheat, and the sauce is based on dashi, the omnipresent Japanese stock. You would recognize the smell of dashi in an instant, even if you have never knowingly eaten it. It's a brilliant concoction based on kelp, a seaweed and dried bonito flakes. It is also among the fastest and easiest stocks you can make, and its two main ingredients - which you can buy in any store specializing in Asian foods - keep indefinitely in your pantry. I would encourage you to try making it, though you can also use chicken stock (or instant dashi, which is sold in the same stores).
