Kitsune Soba is a traditional Japanese dish of soba noodles served in a fragrant dashi broth, topped with lightly sweetened aburaage (fried inari tofu) and spring onion.
The name "kitsune" means fox in Japanese: according to legend, foxes are particularly fond of fried tofu. Comforting, light and rich in umami flavors, this bowl of noodles is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

200 g dashi broth
100 g dry soba noodles
1 pouch of fried tofu inari (aburaage)
available in store
2 g finely chopped spring onion
1 g toasted white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tbsp. cooking sake
1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional, to sweeten the tofu)
🌶 Shichimi tōgarashi (Japanese chili powder, optional)

Instructions

Drain the pouch of fried tofu and rinse with hot water to remove excess oil.
In a small saucepan, mix 50 ml water, soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar.
Add the fried tofu and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, until well soaked.
Bring a large pot of water to the boil.
Cook the soba according to package instructions (approx. 4-5 min).
Drain, then rinse under cold water to remove starch. Set aside.
Heat the dashi broth in a saucepan.
Add a tablespoon of soy sauce and a tablespoon of mirin.
Season with a pinch of salt if necessary.
Quickly reheat the soba noodles in hot water, then drain.
Place the noodles in a large bowl and pour the hot broth over them.
Add the pouch of fried tofu on top.
Sprinkle with chopped spring onion and white sesame seeds.
Sprinkle with shichimi tōgarashi if you like it spicy.

Recipe notes

Kitsune Soba can easily be adapted to your tastes. Replace the soba with udon for a heartier Kitsune Udon. For a vegetarian or vegan version, simply prepare the broth with a dashi of kombu and shiitake. If you want to save time, you can use pre-seasoned inari fried tofu, available in Japanese grocery stores.
For added color and flavor, add narutomaki, shiitake mushrooms or a soft-boiled egg. Finally, spice up your bowl with a pinch of shichimi tōgarashi for a typically spicy Japanese touch.
