Today I had the best soba experience I have ever had. Believe me I have had some wonderful soba times but this was the best.
Kake soba, fresh off the noodle bed, served searingly hot in rich and salty soup. It was big, very big and just what I needed to survive the cold. I rode […]
Noodles and rice needs a new type of noodle and I think I have found it. Harusame is a type of noodle that, as far as I can work out, is made of potato flour. This makes it a member of a rare breed. Are there other potato noodles out there from other cultures?
Anyhow, we […]
I love soba. By itself cold, hot in soup or pretty much any way else you can imagine. One thing that I don’t like is soggy soba. It can quickly turn from firm bitey noodles into buckwheat mush on your plate if you let it.
The solution is to serve it up (if it is to be dry) […]
Last night we had some friends over, including Ian from Australia. He requested Ramen and so we got to it. It ended up great but a little unconventional as we had way to many things and not nearly enough soup in the bowl. Also in the rush (we were starving) nobody thought to take a photo […]
The best thing about Somen noodles are that they seem to go with anything, especially summer. When it is hot and you can’t manage to get hot food to seem appetizing, try this for a quick, easy and healthy meal.
Cook up a bundle of somen noodles for each person, using the directions on the pack […]
This soup isn’t from any particular Asian cuisine — just a melange of stuff that I found while looking for something to make a quick lunch for the kids. Served with a sandwich or roasted vegetables, it’s great for a light meal that can be prepared in under an hour.
To prepare the broth:
1 large […]
There are 6 main types of noodles popular in Japan. They vary in ingredients, shape and use. Everyone seems to have their own favourites, but on the whole, there must be millions of tonnes of noodles consumed every day throughout Japan. The noodles can be divided into the following basic categories:
Udon - Are usually long […]
Last weekend I drove past a building site near my home and it wasn’t until after I was well past it that I realised that it used to be a Ramen shop and a block of apartments. Now this sort of thing happens all of the time in Japan. Build it… demolish it… build it […]
I’m trying to figure out how to post a video on here. Yesterday we had Mee Krob and that was so much fun I just gotta share it with you. My kids were clamoring to “do it again, Mom”.
In the ’70’s, my parent’s go-to place for “fast food” (it wasn’t exactly […]
Melting Wok’s E-Fu Noodles
I’ve got noodles here, but [sniff] if I make this I’ll be the only one who can eat it…. not very penitential LOL… will have to wait until after Easter. But those of you with a hankering for seafood and noodles — this is the perfect dish! Not to mention […]
