soba


Made soba, thinking of that very first soba soup I had that was sooooo tasty - I have been to the same restaurant again, but it is not quite as tasty - I was getting a cold that first time and it must have added to the heavenly-ness of that bowl of soba soup.

This turned out quite well, complete with this Japanese chilli-pepper seasoning which is apparently a mix of 8 different things and is super spicy (in Japanese standards). The first time I made soba, a few months ago it was disgusting - I had no idea you had to treat it like a baby. Cook and then wash them under cold running water until all starch is washed away and the water runs clear... It was well worth the effort though, for once in a while...
