Organic Soba

Spiral Organic Soba are thin, light brown Japanese noodles made from wheat flour and buckwheat flour with sea salt and water, in a 300 g pack. Wheat flour is the majority ingredient at 69% and buckwheat is 29%, giving the noodles their nutty flavour and their strength in the pot. They cook in a few minutes and are delicious two ways: rinsed cold with a dipping sauce in summer, or hot in a bowl of broth with spring onion and greens.

Product Strengths

• Cook in a few minutes, so they suit a weeknight bowl as much as a considered one.
• Eaten cold with a dipping sauce or hot in broth, so one pack covers summer and winter.
• Buckwheat gives them a nutty flavour and a firmer bite than a plain wheat noodle.
• Four ingredients: wheat flour, buckwheat flour, sea salt and water.
• 300 g pack.
• Contains wheat and gluten.

Suitable For / Not Suitable For

Suitable for: Cold soba with dipping sauce, hot soba in broth, and cold noodle salads.

Nutrition Information

Read the nutrition panel from the pack.

Suggested Use

Cook them in a large pot of unsalted boiling water, since the noodles already carry salt, and start tasting early because soba goes from firm to soft quickly. Drain and rinse them under cold running water, rubbing gently to wash off the surface starch, which stops them clumping and gives them their clean bite. Serve them cold on a plate or basket with a tamari and mirin dipping sauce, spring onion and grated ginger, or reheat them briefly and put them in a bowl of hot broth. They also work in a cold noodle salad with sesame and cucumber. Follow the cooking time on the pack.

Storage

Keep the pack in a cool, dry cupboard and re-seal or transfer any unused bundles to a sealed container. Follow the storage directions on the pack.
