Soba Noodle Salad Recipe

Soba Noodle Salad Recipe


Soba noodles are a very popular lunch food in Japan.  They are usually served chilled with a dipping sauce (Zaru Soba) or hot with a dashi broth.  As we mentioned in our recent Zaru Soba post, it is gaining popularity outside of Japan because of its high nutritious value.  However, it is very rare to see soba served Japanese style with a dipping sauce or in a broth in the U.S. unless you are at a Japanese restaurant.  Soba is most likely prepared as noodle salad here!
