What Our Customers Say:
"The best store-bought soba I've found. The texture is fantastic and they have a real buckwheat flavour, not just plain wheat." - Hiroshi H.
"I love making zaru soba at home in the summer. These noodles are always reliable and cook perfectly." - Emily C.
How to Prepare:
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
- Add noodles, stirring gently to prevent sticking.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until noodles are tender but still firm (al dente).
- Drain immediately and rinse thoroughly under cold water to stop the cooking process and remove surface starch. This is key for perfect texture!
