Lemon soba noodle レモン蕎麦

Lemon soba is one of my favorite noodles. The fresh flavor of lemon is so comfortable.

Sudachi soba is more common in Japan and summer special.

Sudachi is a green, small citrus of Japanese origin. 👉 Sudachi

Lemon soba is similar to sudachi soba and reminds me of Japanese summer, the buzz of cicada, fireworks, matsuri festival, and yukata...

Cook time; 20mins

Ingredients

• 6 ounces soba noodles
• Dashi broth; 
• 2 cups of water
• Dashi powder (Kombu-dashi and Katsuo-dashi, both are better)

• Sliced lemon
• Sea weeds
• Boiled shrimps (microwave)
• Green scallion etc

Instructions

1. Make Noodle soup
Put water and melt dashi powder in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Add soy sauce, mirin, and cooking sake. Mix well.

2. Prepare Toppings
Cut the lemon.

3. Boil Noodles
Bring a large pot of water (7-8 cups) to a boil.
Once the water is boiling, add the soba noodles and quickly stir so the noodles don’t stick to each other.We do not use small pan when we cook noodles.

Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions. 
Keep the water boiling on medium to medium-high heat. 

Drain the soba noodles and serve the noodles in individual dishes.
Place lemon on the noodles and divide the noodle soup.
Place the shrimp, sea weeds, and green scallion if you like.

RECIPE NOTES
Traditional dashi broth is too complicated to cook for me and I use dashi powder.

This time I use this soba noodles brought from Japan.

Thank you.
