Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 pounds boned chicken breast, skin removed
5 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons sake
1 tablespoon minced ginger root
6 to 8 scallions, ends trimmed
3/4 pound dried soba noodles
4 cups dashi (see Step 1 in recipe above)
1/4 cup mirin (sweetened rice wine)

Steps:

  • Using a sharp knife, remove any fat or gristle from the chicken. Cut along the length into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide. Cut crosswise into pieces about 1/2 inch long. Place the pieces in a bowl, and add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce plus the sake and the ginger root. Toss lightly to coat, and set aside.
  • Cut the scallions on the diagonal into 1/2-inch lengths and set aside, reserving the green sections from 4 scallions. Finely mince the green sections, and set aside.
  • In a large pot, heat 3 quarts of water for the noodles. Scatter the noodles over the surface. Once the water reaches a boil, cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until just tender. Drain the noodles in a colander, and rinse under cold running water to remove the starch. Drain again, and divide noodles among six large soup bowls.
  • In another pot, combine the dashi, mirin and remainder of the soy sauce, and heat to a gentle boil. Add the chicken pieces, and cook about 5 to 7 minutes, until the chicken is tender. Skim off any impurities from the top. Add the scallion sections, and continue cooking for 1 minute.
  • Apportion the mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with the minced scallion greens, and serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of scallions, so I used green onions instead. It still turned out great.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken from the night before, and it worked perfectly in this dish.

I wasn't sure how the soba noodles would turn out, but they were actually really good. They had a nice chewy texture.
