Soba Noodles
Varieties
Soba is available in several varieties, including jenenjo soba, which contains wild yam flour; cha soba, made with tea leaves and buckwheat; and youmugi soba, made with buckwheat and mugwort.
Preparation, Uses, & Tips
Add noodles a few at a time to boiling water. To prevent noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pan, stir gently until the water returns to a rapid boil. Cook for eight to ten minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Add to soups and stir-fried dishes, or toss with sautéed kale and shiitake mushrooms.
Storing
Store them, unopened, in a cool, dry cupboard for six to eight months.
