Ingredients
-
200 g buckwheat flour
-
50 g T55 wheat flour
-
120 ml warm water
-
Corn starch or buckwheat flour
Instructions
- Mix buckwheat flour and wheat flour in a large bowl. Add the warm water in two additions, mixing thoroughly with your fingers.
- Knead the dough until smooth. Transfer to a clean work surface and knead vigorously for 10 minutes with the palms of your hands, until soft and slightly elastic. Form into a ball.
- Sprinkle the work surface with cornflour or buckwheat flour. Flatten the dough by hand, then roll out with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 2 mm.
- Gently fold the dough accordion-style, lightly flouring between each fold to prevent sticking.
- Using a sharp knife, cut 3 mm-wide strips.
- Carefully separate the noodles with your hands and dust lightly with flour to prevent clumping.
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil (without salt).
- Plunge in the noodles and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, depending on thickness, until tender but still slightly firm.
- Drain immediately and rinse thoroughly under cold water, rubbing lightly to remove excess starch.
- Drain carefully and set aside.
Recipe notes
Tasting tips and accompaniments
Serve cold (Zaru Soba - Soba soaked in tsuyu sauce)
Arrange the well-drained noodles on a plate or zaru (bamboo sieve). Serve with homemade tsuyu sauce (a blend of dashi, soy sauce and mirin), in which the soba noodles are dipped before eating. Add traditional garnishes: snipped spring onion, wasabi, sliced nori and sesame seeds.
Serve hot (Kake Soba - Soba in broth)
Dip soba into a hot broth made with dashi, soy sauce and mirin. Garnish with mushrooms, tofu, tempura or a soft-boiled egg for a more gourmet version.
Recipe tips :
Freshly ground buckwheat flour: For a more authentic taste, choose freshly ground artisanal flour.
Gradual hydration: Water should be added slowly to ensure good cohesion of the dough.
Careful cooking: Overcooking will make the noodles too soft; watch the cooking time carefully.
