Foamy and Creamy! Natto Soba Noodles

There is one dish in a soba restaurant that I had always thought was Tororo Natto Soba (soba noodles with grated nagaimo yam and natto). But surprisingly, the staff explained to me that the white foamy part was actually egg white. The foam of the egg white is accentuated by mixing in natto. It was so delicious that I tried making it in my own way.
Use a fresh egg. It's delicious if you chill it well. (The egg white and natto give a sticky texture.) The stickiness of natto will maintain the foam of the egg white. If you don't like the smell of egg white, season with wasabi, myoga ginger, sesame seeds, salt cured plum (umeboshi) or shiso leaf etc. Recipe by Shirokuman

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Separate an egg into yolk and white. Cook the soba noodles and soak in cold water. Stir the natto well until it foams.
- 2
Beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. Mix in the natto very well with chopsticks, until you can see sticky threads. You can add the natto sauce, too.
- 3
Serve the soba noodles in a noodle bowl. Pour on the egg white and natto mixture from Step 2 and place an egg yolk in the centre. Sprinkle the seasoning and pour Japanese noodle dipping sauce on it. I used 1 pack of natto for mixing with the egg white, the other for the topping.

Natto & Grated Daikon Radish Soba Natto & Grated Daikon Radish Soba
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 cookpad.japan -

Cold Soba Noodles with Soy Milk Sauce Cold Soba Noodles with Soy Milk Sauce
I won a contest to become a tester for a brand of mentsuyu, so I tried making this. There's soy milk miso soup, so I thought that soy milk soba dipping sauce should work too - and it was delicious! I thought I'd try milk first, but that has a character that doesn't really go well with this. I think that soy milk just goes better with Japanese ingredients. I don't have special bamboo plates for cold soba, so I just used a sushi rolling mat under the soba noodles and used tea cups as dipping cups... I apologize for the makeshift arrangement.Make with soy milk and not milk! Recipe by ochikeron cookpad.japan -
