I don't feel really well today (low sodium due to dehydration, another story!) so I decided to stay home and not gym with Andy (side note: really best to do yoga in the mornings, so glad I managed parts of the primary series atleast)* Andy loves Japanese, so I made a try at some healthy soba.I had to research how to cook soba because the last time I made it, it turned sticky and starchy.
The soba sauce was fairly simple and I'm glad I was able to buy really nice red miso paste in the Korean store last week.
SOBA
* recommendation is around 150-200grams (uncooked) for 2 persons
* boil water, without salt or oil
* drop little by little the soba and stir
* cook for about 5-7 minutes
* strain with cool water until starchiness comes off swirling it around the strainer with your hands . * I washed this off again with water and mixed with a little sesame oil before mixing the sauce
Walnut miso sauce
* 1/2 cup walnuts
* 1/4 cup olive oil
* 2 tbsp red miso paste
*1/4 cup hot water
TOP with:
* shredded nori
* mushrooms sauteed in garlic
* blanched asparagus tips
* optional (for Andy) -
stir fried in sesame oil, garlic, 1 tbsp kikoman + 1 tbsp mirin (chopped chicken breast)
* sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds
