Organic Japanese 100% Buckwheat Soba 200g BBE 02.11.2023

Japanese 100% Buckwheat Soba

Delicious versatile wheat free noodles with a rich, nutty Buckwheat taste. Known as 'Juwari Soba' in Japanese, meaning 100% Soba.

As Buckwheat does not contain any gluten or binding agents it requires great skill and time to produce these hearty popular noodles.

The grain is milled several times so that the noodles, although being wholegrain, have a delicious soft texture which absorb the flavours of the broth or dressings they are served with.

Soba noodles are often served in Japan after big parties or at the end of an evening's drinking.

Soba cooks quickly (in just over five minutes) but they are quite fragile due to the lack of gluten so require a delicate hand.

They were originally served chilled with a dipping sauce, but today they are more commonly served in hot broth as a noodle soup topped with colourful and nutritious vegetables, seaweeds and sesame seeds.

As these noodles do not contain any gluten they are much more brittle than standard soba noodles and should be cooked gently.

Add the noodles after your water has come to a boil, then add cold water to the pot periodically until cooked to avoid the noodles breaking apart.

Stir- frying is not recommended.

Enjoy it hot or chilled in dashi - a shoyu soy sauce kombu broth, with a dipping sauce or in refreshing salads.

Alternatively wrap it in toasted nori to make delicious noodle sushi.

To prepare, bring plenty of water to the boil, add noodles (100g per serving) and stir.

Simmer for 5 mins then rinse immediately under cold water.
