Ingredients
-
160g iRASSHAi soba noodles
120ml whipping cream
-
2 teaspoons iRASSHAi dashi
-
2 teaspoons wasabi (to taste)
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
40g peas
-
6 nori seaweed leaves
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to the boil to cook the soba.
In a bowl, combine the cream, dashi, wasabi, salt and olive oil. Set aside.
Cook soba noodles according to package directions. Add the peas two minutes before the end of cooking time.
Drain the noodles and peas, then rinse thoroughly under cold water. Rub the noodles between your hands to remove the starch. Drain carefully.
Mix the soba and peas with the prepared sauce. Divide between bowls.
Cut the nori leaves into small squares and sprinkle over the noodles.
Recipe notes
Rinsing the soba with cold water and rubbing it between the hands is a sacred step in Japan. This gesture is not insignificant: it removes the sticky starch, but above all, it "wakes up" the texture of the noodles. An old Tokyo chef used to say: "If your soba are dull, it's because you've just drained them. Rinse them as if you were bringing them back to life."
We often think of wasabi as being reserved for sushi or sashimi. Yet its vegetal warmth makes it an excellent ingredient for cold or creamy sauces. Here, it plays a discreet but essential role: it enhances without overpowering, adding texture without dominating, rather like a dash of mustard in a French vinaigrette.
