*SOBA Buckwheat Noodles
Make 80% soba noodles using buckwheat flour.
Making soba process is simple but need some tips. First, I will show you how to make dough and knead it, then it will be your turn to make.
Cutting soba is important process, so please cut your own noodles.
Then, eat the blanched soba noodles with vegetable tempura.
(For vegans, we will ready the vegan soup without fish dashi.)
Tempura (天ぷら) is a classical Portuguese dish brought to and popularized by Japan, consisting of seafood or vegetables that have been battered and deep fried. Tempura is a typical home-style cooking in Japan. It is often referred to as a representative dish to Japan. Although there are various theories, it is said that Tokugawa Ieyasu, the general of the Edo period, liked tempura so much that he allegedly died from eating too much.
First, let's start making soba noodles. Soba is a very popular Japanese dish and can be eaten anywhere.
However, making noodles is a very special experience.
Since we are making 80% soba noodles, I already mixed flour and buckwheat flour in a 2:8. Then, add water little by little. Once it's mixed to a certain extent, start kneading. Then, use a stick to stretch the noodles and cut them into thin pieces. At that time, a special knife is used to cut the noodles. Does it seem difficult? Soba making is a deep process, but let's make it together. The soba you make yourself will definitely have a special taste.
Boil the soba, and ready with soup and toppings.
I will prepare the vegetarian tempura for you.
Finally, it's time to try the food.
Soba and tempura are very good combinations.
