Tsukimi Soba





Tsukimi soba was something I discovered this in an old Shoujo Beat Magazine. I have made the 'moon-viewing soba' on five or six different occasions, but I still haven't managed to get the egg part juuuust right-- my most recent attempt turned out a little better, but it still needs perfecting.
If you try to make this one, make sure when you serve the broth, to pour it over the noodles while its still at a *rolling boil and then *immediately crack the egg over the top of the broth. This is the best way to make the egg partially cooked (which is the idea here).

*See recipe below*

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 14 oz. dried soba (buckwheat noodles)
  • 6 cups dashi soup
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsps mirin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 Tbsps finely chopped negi or green onion

Preparation:

Heat dashi, soy sauce, mirin, and salt in a large pot to make soup. Boil soba noodles in another pot, according to the cooking instructions indicated in the packages. Serve soba noodles into four bowls. Pour hot soup over soba noodles. Crack an egg on top of the noodles in each bowl. Sprinkle negi on top of noodles.
