Food is rarely on my blog. However, my hunger pangs were getting into me and decided to blog about it.
At this hour (at 1.32 am), I was hungry and really wanted to eat something. Yup, I knew it's unhealthy to eat at such unearthly hours. However, my biological clock had been messed up for these couple of months. Hence, this was my dinner and have decided to cook soba. One of the easiest apart from instant noodles.
Have seen these noodles in my favorite haunts. But didnt bother to pick up a packet till recently(I needed to stretch my dollar). Have went to google about this brand of soba as well as the sauce and found pretty decent reviews.
Basically, cooking soba is just like cooking pasta and it has to be al dente. By using hot and cold water in order to achieve the desired results. The soba that I've got is the buckwheat version and it's already separated into 3 bundles for easy consumption. For the sauce, it's Katsuo Atsukezuritsuyu. There's a hint of alcohol and it's salty. Hence, I will dilute the sauce with water according to my liking.
When certain food is concerned, I'm a no frills person and likes to taste food at its original taste whether it's cooked or raw. Simplicity is the best taste for me. But I do know some of frens will put other ingredients with the noodles. Yup, it's strange coming from somebody who is culinary trained. Simply disliked the cleaning / tidying portion of the whole process.
Anyway, the soba and sauce can be found in this famous 'all items at the same price' retail outlets. If anybody has any other suggestions besides the one that I've mentioned above, please let me know if your method is fuss-free.
PS : Feeling very fulfilled now!
PPS : I've stocked up enough but planning to get more for my next trip.
