SOBA Noodles
Soba. The brownish buckwheat soba noodles from Japan are becoming more popular as their beguiling, nutty flavor and nutritional value engage the attention of Western cooks. They are rich in protein and fiber.
While they are most commonly served cold with a dipping sauce or hot in soups, soba noodles are extraordinarily versatile and lend themselves to salads to stir-fried dishes as well. Soba may also be flavored with green tea (cha soba), lemon zest or black sesame seeds.
