Japanese Buckwheat Noodles
You may also see soba referred to as buckwheat noodles, as this is what they’re made of. The buckwheat gives the noodles a slightly nutty, earthy taste which often pairs well with dipping sauces, taking on strong umami flavours.
Soba Cup Noodles
Like traditional ramen noodles, instant soba cups come in a wide variety of delicious flavours, such as:
- Teriyaki
- Yakitori
- Chilli
- Peking duck
Nissin is a popular brand when it comes to soba cup noodles, offering an instant taste of Japan and a convenient way to enjoy soba noodles.
How to Cook Soba Noodles
When incorporating soba noodles into a dish, you should avoid overcooking them – too much time boiling will lead to a mushy or gummy texture. Soba noodles should also be rinsed with cold water after cooking to remove excess starch and ensure they’re the ideal texture for your dish.
