This dish was one of the reasons I started this food blog. It encourages me to try making something unique that I otherwise would not have done, and I get to eat with a beautiful pair of chopsticks. This noodle soup was absolutely wonderful, and there are so many different ways to use Soba. Soba means “buckwheat”, and is very healthful. I simmered garlic, ginger, cilantro and scallions in water, and then added seasoned rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, honey and red pepper flakes. Then I tossed in sliced carrots, green peas, snow peas and shrimp. Pour over the cooked Soba and sprinkle with shichimi togarashi. Shichimi togarashi is a seven spice mixture of roasted red pepper, red pepper, black pepper, dried seaweed, black sesame, poppy seed, and Indian hemp seed. I just discovered this, and it will be a staple in my pantry. This recipe came with a note that said – Healing powers: digestive health, heart health, sleep and weight loss. I’m all over that!
