Soba Noodles

Find Great Recipes

Preparation, uses, and 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.

Buying and storing tips

Look for soba noodles in the ethnic or pasta section of natural food and grocery stores and in the bulk section of some health food stores, or in specialty or Asian markets. Store them, unopened, in a cool, dry cupboard for six to eight months.

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.
