| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. In a 3- to 4-quart pot, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add the soba and, stirring occasionally, cook for 6 to 7 minutes, until very soft. Drain the noodles in a colander and quickly run cold water over them.
|
2. Drain again and divide the noodles among 6 serving bowls (the Japanese would use zaru, which are round, curved bamboo baskets), and top with crumbled nori. Garnish each bowl with scallions and a teaspoon of wasabi paste.
|
3. Serve the dipping sauce separately, in individual small bowls or dishes. Traditionally, the wasabi and scallions are mixed into the dipping sauce to the individual diner's taste.
