I do remember eating some soup noodles before - with heaps and bits of minced meat and minced-mashed salted soy beans; and the restaurant named the dish 阳春面 (pronounced as Yang Chun Mian, in Mandarin). I tried checking this out and found it to be plain noodle without any dressing?! I'm not going to dig and probe further, or it will end up a lengthy post.
Soba in salted soy beans dressing, I shall call it... technically (so boring).
Three-Swirl Soba - shall be the fancy name fit for a menu (I think?). Description ~ Buckwheat noodles tossed in salted soy beans dressing of a slow-cooked pork rib gravy, served on a bed of seasonal greens.
Stop looking for the pork ribs! No chance you will find the ribs since there are all eaten up. I rolled up some ground turkey into turkey meatballs instead, then simmer - cook them in this gravy.
The soba buckwheat noodles are also tossed in the gravy. You can call it soba and meatballs (just like spaghetti and meatballs) if you wish to.
Three-Swirl Soba
Ingredients: Soba, long beans or any greens you prefer
Dressing: Recipe here.
How-to: Toss the cooked soba in the dressing-gravy and serve on your favorite greens. It's so simple. Garnish with some julienned spring onions/scallions.
This is my entry for Presto Pasta Night . Ruth, you did not cook any pasta but I use leftover gravy. Will that be ok?
How will you name this dish ?

ReplyDeleteAnother tip for food presentation, next time you can try putting the noodles on Chinese soup spoons, arrange them in a row...wah, and can call them "The Most Beautiful."
Wahahahaha.
Whatever you call it, it's beautiful. Probably better once I've eaten it.

Hi Tigerfish, Thanks for coming by my blog. Your Soba noodles look really enticing and I love the look of your Beancurd skin prawn roll too. YUM!
ReplyDeletebig boys oven, tt's quite true. You reminded me of the East meets West theme. Thanks!
ReplyDeletewokkingmum, Twister Soba- the sequel of the movie Twister arh!Haha! But that's a cool name :D
mandy, it is appetizing. Since the ingredients are so simple, I reckon some simple "decorations" will do the job of making this COMPLETE :P
KM, SoBakYi-sounds like kneading the meatballs!!! Wahahahha! Good!
MW, birds nest that comes as savory noodles and not the "saliva-infused" dessert :O? LOL!

steamy, nope. Same camera. Same tigerfish. It was just one of my luckier days for a good shot.
oh for the love of food, you're welcome :D ...I'm a foodie looking out for food, remmeber? ;p
Call it "spotlessly clean dish"? Seriously, I was wondering how you managed to keep the white dish so spotlessly clean after you've put the food in it.
ReplyDeletevictor, hahha...got technique wan!
ReplyDeleteI'll call it SoMeBa...A mix of Soba Meat Ball. All rights reserved!
ReplyDeleteThese are really nice photos! I've been on a soba kick lately, but I just eat it zaru style. :D I've never eaten it with meat before. Your creation looks good!
ReplyDeletewmw, right hor...meatballs are BAK anyway...LOL!
ReplyDeleteLike singing Doh Reh Me Fa Soh. :P
yuzu, me too have fallen in love with soba lately :)
Of course, zaru style is always good, esp. on hotter days to come. But I bought 2 packs, so I decided to try different ways to "taste" soba.
Asian spaghetti?
ReplyDeleteKoreans have this dish that is somewhat like the one you posted. Basically, it's soba noodles with spicy, red sauce (kim-chi taste) and served cold. And the curl the noodles into puddles like you did.
ming merciless, is that true? Maybe I just eat Korean tofu hotpot stew and nothing else, tt's why never seen korean noodles done this way before.
ReplyDeleteWhat technique? Photoshop is it? I also know. :P
ReplyDeleteVictor...buahahah..I don't even have Photoshop software!!! ;)
