Soba

Less popular than ramen and udon, but just as tasty, Soba is a type of noodle made from buckwheat flour and requires years of training to make. Soba is higher in protein, fibre, complex carbohydrates, thiamine and Vitamin B1 and B2 compared to other kinds of noodles.

Soba is also known to contain “rutin” which reduces high blood pressure and is anti-ageing.

This super noodle is widely available in your local Asian supermarket or health food store and can be eaten in a variety of ways, hot or cold. We like to dress our soba with a variety of healthy veggie toppings using the Masahiro MV-H Masahiro Santoku Knife 18cm which is well suited to vegetable chopping and dicing, or keep it simple, cold and dipped in Tsuyu (dipping sauce).

Eating soba noodles never gets boring, and will make a versatile addition to your kitchen!
