Chilled Totoro Soba Noodles with Grated Yam

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. Recipe by Nekoashi

Steps
- 1
Boil the soba noodles in plenty of boiling water.
- 2
While the soba is boiling, chop the green onions.
- 3
Slice the yamaimo to make 2 rounds (they will be Totoro's eyes), and grate the rest. Adjust the size of the eyes accordingly.
- 4
Cut the nori out to make the eyes, nose, and belly pattern. I just cut them out with scissors, but it may be easier if you use a craft punch.
- 5
This is how it looked like before I added the grated nagaimo. I put a mitsuba leaf on top of his head and finished off by garnishing with chopped green onions around it.
- 6
This is important!! Use only a little bit of the noodles in the center to make a shallow well for Totoro's belly.
- 7
Pour in the grated nagaimo into the well. Add the belly pattern nori on top, and it's done.
- 8
I guarantee your child will love this. Pour mentsuyu all over! It's a shame to lose the Totoro shape, but the noodles will taste better if you mix it all up before eating.
