What Are Soba Noodles?
Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe
Soba means buckwheat in Japanese.
The noodles are made with buckwheat flour and likely with wheat flour added.
Soba noodles have a robust toasty, nutty flavor, and soft, chewy, and elastic texture.

Where to Buy Soba Noodles
Most big box stores now carry soba noodles.
I like theSukina brand, but you cant go wrong with any brand.
Though still tasty, they tend to get mushier and gummier than mainly-buckwheat noodles.

Double or triple the ingredients.
Leftovers stay wonderful in the fridge for up to 3 days.

You dont need to salt the water.
Cover the pot with a lid if youre hangry and need it to boil faster.
Leave the colander in the sink to give the noodles a chance to drain well.

Whisk well with a fork until combined.
Tap the colander in the sink forcefully a few times to get rid of as much water as possible.
Tip the noodles on top of the dressing and use the fork to toss until evenly coated.

Serve at room temperature or chilled after you pop it into the fridge until ready to serve.
Leftovers taste even better since the noodles get a chance to soak up the dressing without getting mushy.
It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
