A coworker from Hiroshima at my old work place taught me about natto soba. I wanted to eat a version with vegetables, and without the natto sinking to the bottom of the bowl! So, I came up with my own variation. I didn't really like soba before, but I've been buying it more since learning this recipe. Of course, this is what I have for my New Year's Eve soba!To dilute the noodle dipping sauce, be sure to use dashi, not water. The taste of the soba sauce will be completely different. The reason for using half the regular amount of sauce is because the natto will sink as you eat it. Another reason is to keep it from becoming too salty; if you prefer a lot of sauce, then double the amount. This is also delicious with chilled noodles and sauce. Recipe by Nanaha778

I tried making this warm soba noodle dish for lunch, using some naturally grown nameko mushrooms that my relatives sent to me, using some rather spicy daikon radish I grew in my garden. I also added split-bean natto.This is best made with handmade noodles and dashi stock made from scratch, but it's an easy recipe so please forgive the shortcuts.Use the brands or types of soba, daikon radish, natto and nameko mushrooms that you prefer. For 1 servings. Recipe by Risa papa

My mother taught me to wash soba noodles very very well. This is a "kamo-seiro" using pork instead of the traditional duck.By putting the mentsuyu sauce in the frying pan after stir frying the pork, you can make even store-bought store rather rich-tasting. Even if you grate ginger and garlic, the strength of their flavor will dissipate somewhat by the time you eat the dish, so there isn't much worry about the two ingredients overpowering everything else. I recommend finely chopping both. Wash the soba noodles well by rubbing the noodles with your hands under running water, to remove any surface stickiness. For 1 serving. Recipe by Motodaitouryo

My friend in Niigata gave me delicious soba noodles, so I wanted to make a simple dish to bring out the soba noodles.Fry the mushrooms well!

I wanted to eat something filling! I love chilled kimchi and mayonnaise, so instead of using rice, I decided to use low-glycemic soba noodles! It ended up being extremely filling and you can enjoy this guilt free.I always make it with the soba, kimchi, 2 tablespoons of mentsuyu and 1 tablespoon of low calorie mayonnaise. Altogether it's 312 calories. For serving 1. Recipe by Marrietty

I love abura-soba, so I tried making a somen version.It might be best to finish boiling the somen a little quicker than usual. You can eat with ra-yu if you prefer You can use green onions or white leek, either is OK! If using white leek, since they're a bit spicy rinse with cold water before serving. Recipe by Kokoa mama

I've loved Tototo ever since I was little, but he's resurfaced recently in my life as a personal trend.I was having trouble with a loss of appetite because of the hot summer, but I regained my appetite a little with this cute decoration!!I have a newborn son, and this is one of the dishes I will definitely make for him when he is a little older.Use only a little bit of the noodles around the stomach area to make a well for Totoro's belly!!Make a well in the noodles like a pond to pour in the grated yamaimo.
