At the time of universal love for Japanese cuisine, the whole world recognized soba - thin noodles made from buckwheat. Soba comes from Japan, where it began to be actively eaten in the middle of the 16th century. Today in the Land of the Rising Sun they call themselves any thin noodles. Some regions, such as Okinawa, call themselves plain egg noodles, while buckwheat noodles are called nihonsoba.
Buckwheat noodles are a very popular and healthy product.
Buckwheat flour itself is not sticky, so any soba always contains different proportions of wheat flour and buckwheat flour: it all depends on the conscientiousness of the manufacturer.
To control producers in agriculture in Japan, a kind of "GOST" was introduced - it has the right to noodles, where the buckwheat content is at least 30%.
Soba is very versatile and can be eaten hot or cold. In Japan, soba is always served with tsuyu sauce (tsuyu contains mirin wine, tuna katsuobushi sauce, sake, and soy sauce). Sometimes it is eaten with broth in the form of a thick noodle soup with pieces of fish or meat. Of course, you can set a goal and cook soba at home, but we suggest you save time and buy a pack from the supermarket and boil it according to the instructions on the package.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Boil the soba in a saucepan, put it in a colander. Put the noodles in a saucepan (wok), add vegetables, a little sauce - its amount can be adjusted solely as you wish, and then we warm everything up and mix thoroughly. Serve in deep bowls, if there is a lot of sauce, or on ordinary flat plates.
The best cookware for cooking is a wok: a Chinese frying pan with a narrow bottom and high sides; in it, the noodles come out juicy, and are evenly soaked in sauce.

With beef and vegetables
Buckwheat noodles with beef are considered a classic in Japan. There, the dish is ready to be eaten everywhere - in fast food establishments, on the street, in trendy top-class restaurants, at home. But here there is a special subtlety in cooking: it is important to fry vegetables using the stir-fry method, that is, fry very quickly over a hot fire. At the same time, the meat should be well fried, and the vegetables should remain al dente - crunch inside.
The best sort of meat is marbled beef; but it's hard to find, so we change it for veal, loin.
The noodles are prepared like this:
- Any vegetables (zucchini, carrots, eggplant, beans) are fried over high heat in a wok.
- At the same time, beef is fried - it is important to cut it into very thin slices.
- Vegetables and meat are mixed, poured with sauce: 2 tbsp. tablespoons of starch, everything is thoroughly stirred.
- The sauce will give the vegetables and meat a nice glazed look.
- Soba is boiled for 5-7 minutes.

With shrimp - step by step
Shrimp soba is a social dish for gatherings with friends: it is delicious and certainly not trivial. And it’s also quick and easy to cook: the main thing is to stock up on good shrimp in advance, preferably king or tiger. In addition to shrimp, we need 2 bunches of soba, 100 g of mushrooms (champignons, shiitake), sesame oil, sesame seeds, dried ginger, zucchini, carrots, bell peppers, garlic and parsley.
A very nutritious and satisfying dish. The step by step guide looks like this:
- Put the garlic in the hot oil on the wok and fry it.
- We take it out of the pan (our goal is for the garlic to transfer its aroma to the oil).
- Add shelled shrimp.
- Fry until golden brown.
- Fry the vegetables, cut into thin strips.
- We combine vegetables, shrimps.
- Soba is boiled.

Shrimps can always be mixed with any seafood: add pieces of trout, scallops, mussels, thin strips of squid. Eat and season everything with any spices.
Soba with pork and vegetables
Pork soba is prepared similarly to the beef recipe. The only difference is that pork meat is more tender, which means it cooks faster. Together with pork, stew mushrooms well, add dried ginger, sesame oil and hot chili pepper to it.
Fry the meat in small portions: it is important that it is fried, not stewed.
Pour it generously with sauce, drip a little teriyaki, combine with you. You can add fresh zucchini to the dish, which is cut into strips and mixed with noodles. The taste of zucchini is neutral and appropriate for pairing with pork. Before serving, you can sprinkle the dish with grated peanuts fried in a pan.
Oriental dish with teriyaki sauce
According to the Japanese, teriyaki is not a simple sauce. This is a whole philosophy and direction in cooking. The basis of the sauce is soy sauce, mirin (rice wine), sugar, and combine it with fish, lamb, beef or pork. Due to sugar, any vegetables and meat acquire a beautiful caramel color and acquire a pleasant aftertaste, characteristic of Asian dishes.
It can be used as an independent dish, and is also perfect for a quick snack. We offer to cook an unusual soba with tuna, a fish that is simply adored in the Land of the Rising Sun.
- Cut the tuna into pieces and fry in teriyaki sauce.
- Add pineapple pieces, canned pineapple juice. It will soften the fish, give a slight sweet and sour taste.
- We put any vegetables cut into strips (zucchini, carrots, Beijing cabbage).
- We put a little starch (the sauce will become viscous, and the vegetables will be shiny).
- Slightly dampen.
- We mix with ourselves.
Spread on a large deep plate, sprinkle with sesame seeds, eat with young rice wine or green tea. Feel free to adjust the spiciness to your liking, making the dish spicier. Enjoy your meal!

- For a good tasty dish, you need to choose high-quality buckwheat soba noodles. If soba were made only from buckwheat, it would fall apart very quickly. Therefore, wheat flour is present in the noodles. And in some regions of China and Japan, seaweed and green tea are added to soba. But it is worth paying attention that in good quality buckwheat noodles there should be more than 30%.
- Salt needs to be handled with care. Chicken with vegetables should not be well salted, as the dish comes with dressing, which includes soy sauce. And he himself is very salty.
- Instead of champignons, you can take shiitake mushrooms, which will fit very harmoniously into such a dish as soba with mushrooms.
- Green beans (you can use frozen) and celery will be a good addition to vegetables. And if you like it spicy, then half a chili pepper will make your dish fiery.
- Any long noodles boiled in a saucepan risk turning into one sticky lump. To prevent this from happening, there is one little trick. Just add a little vegetable oil to a pot of boiling water and follow the time indicated on the package.
The recipe for soba noodles with chicken is quite simple, but you will definitely succeed in diversifying your menu and pampering your household!
