It surprises me that the streets don't smell like China-towns in other countries or even real China. I think that's because they changed their cooking style for Japanese preferences, which is amazing! How adaptable Chinese people are!
After having lunch at the China-town, I felt like simple Japanese noodles in a different way. Let's cook cold soba!
Ingredients:
soba
wakegi or spring onion
natto
soy sauce(2tsps)
sugar(1tsp)
mirin(1tsp)
soup (dried fish or konbu)
1- Make the sauce. Cook 1/2 cup of soup with soy sauce, sugar and mirin. Cool it down.
2- Stir natto with a bit of soy sauce. Cut the spring onion finely.
3- Boil the soba. Wash it with a cold water and drain. Put the natto, spring onion and 1 on top.
This time I used the green tea soba so it looks green. But usually it's gray...
Itadakimasu!
