This type of Soba Noodle dish doesn’t appeal to many people, but it DOES APPEAL to the Japanese!!! I always wonder why, but I do crave a Soba Noodle dish, particularly cold one, every now and then. My favourite topping is Kakiage Tempura, but I wanted something more refreshing today. Luckily, I had Daikon and some leftover ‘Nemetake’ Enoki. This is what I ate for lunch today.

Steps

10 minutes

1

If you make Quick & Easy ‘Mentsuyu’ for this dish, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. If you concern the alcohol of Mirin, bring to the boil, and cool completely.
2

Peel Daikon and finely grate it. Prepare all other ingredients before you start cooking Soba Noodles.
3

Cook Soba Noodles according to the instruction. I cooked Dry Soba Noodles in boiling water for 4 minutes. *Note: DO NOT add Salt to the water.
4

Drain Soba Noodles, rinse under cold water, then drain well.
5

Place the drained cold Soba Noodles in a serving bowl, top with grated Daikon and ‘Nametake’ Enoki, add some Spring Onion, Nori and Sesame Seeds, then pour ‘Mentsuyu’ sauce, and enjoy.
