chasoba!
Hi everyone. Pardon my long absence. School and all sorts of things have kept me incredibly busy. Moreover, my oven is spoilt. My mom does not want to fix it till we have the kitchen renovated which won't happen in at least a month.
Anyway, for Clarence's mini birthday celebration I tried cooking some chasoba along with other traditional japanese dishes. There was Teriyaki Chicken and Gyoza (of which looked terrible but tasted fantastic). Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of those before we ate them. Haha.
Here's the recipe for Chasoba that I got off a recipe book!
Dipping Sauce
2 Cups of Dashi stock
1/2 cup of Mirin
1/2 Cup of Japanese Soy sauce
pinch of sugar
350g of dried soba noodles.
Step 1: Mix the ingredients of the dipping sauce together and chill it for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Fill a pot about 1/3 with slightly salted water and bring it to boil. Add in the dried soba noodles and stir. Add in 1 cup of water and allow it to return to boil before adding another cup of water. Repeat this process another 2-3 times. This is to allow the soba to cook more evenly.
Step 3: Drain the noodles and rinse them under the tap. Put noodles in a bowl full of water and ice cubes until completely chilled.
Step 4: Drain and serve!
P.S leave comments please!!
hi Peiying this is Ms Fung. Lovely blog! i love soba. it's a really quick and healthy alternative to instant noodles :)
ReplyDeleteFYI I found a ready-mixed dipping sauce at Isetan supermarket that just requires adding water (1 part tsuyu to 6 parts water). It's called Hyoshiro Gomen Tsuyu, Hyoshiro being the brand. Good for lazy days/pp.
Hi Ms Fung! Thanks for sharing! I've only very recently taken to soba and yeah its something you can eat a lot of and not feel guilty! haha.
ReplyDeleteYeah ): I found it a great waste to pour away all the dipping sauce after all my hard work! i'll try that instant one some time!
HELLO THIS IS I, CLARISSA. HAHA
ReplyDeleteanyway, eh was going to tell you that they actually have chasoba completely instant like ms fung said! comes in a pack with noodles even! available at any ordinary supermarket like cold storage and our good ol' ntuc! takes all but 5minutes to make! HAHA but yours look good, nonetheless! wish i had half the amount of interest you had in cooking! i might stop killing myself from an overdose of fast food then.
but anyway, on a side note, i do read this blog regularly although it makes me very hungry ): so you know what we'd be doing when i'm back in november right? (you cook, i eat okay? hahahah :D)
CLARISSAAA hahah yes can't wait for you to come back in november ;)
