Cha Soba With Tempura


We love having cold buckwheat noodles, especially the green tea type. I find them very refreshing especially with some wasabi.



Ingredients

400g of Dried Green Tea Noodles
3 stalks Scallions, chopped
Toasted Japanese Seaweeds, shredded
Wasabi

Sauce

250ml Dashi Stock
350ml Water
4 Tbsp Mirin
3 Tbsp Japanese Soy Sauce

Tempura

Assorted Vegetables, such as Okra, Aubergine, Sweet Potato, Bell Peppers and Fresh Shiitake Mushrooms
Prawns
250g Tempura Flour
400 ml Cold Water
Some grated Ginger and Daikon
Oil for frying


Method

In a large pot of boiling water, add the noodles and cook until al dente. Drain and rinse the noodles with cold water. Then drain well.

Prepare the sauce by combining the dashi stock,mirin, soy sauce and water. Bring it to a boil and set aside to cool.

Mix the tempura batter and deep fry the vegetables and prawns in a hot oil. Make sure to cook it in small batches. Deep fry until crispy. Drain on a paper towel.

To serve the cha soba, top it with toasted seaweed, dipping sauce with some scallions and wasabi.

Serve the tempura with some grated ginger and daikon.

    @globlog: It's not necessary to add the vinegar or yusu in the dipping sauce. I suppos we can always add them and have it with the gyoza or just the tempura alone. Should be good too. Btw, thanks for the comments.:)

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
