  1. I'm preparing to make Fresh hand made Soba noodles.

    It is one of my weaknesses.I always buy it in the bags and
    it is great, but this time I'm going to try fresh. I have
    got freshly ground Buckwheat flour so I'm ready to go.

    Any experts or experienced culinary people out there with
    good advise? I know it's very simple. But sometimes those
    things are the trickiest.

    I also make my own sauce to go on top. Teriyaki sauce,
    mirin, garlic and scallions and ginger mixed.

    Any advise will be appreciated.

  3. In general, pasta is made from a very stiff (less water)
    dough - use just enough water so that you can work the dough
    without it coming apart. Soba with a simple dressing as you
    describe is delicious.

    Use flour on the rolled out sheets of dough and the cut
    pasta to keep it from sticking.

    I bet buckwheat ravioli are good, too.

    Homemade Soba Noodles

    Making soba noodles at home can be fun, creative, and once
    you get the hang of it, quite an easy thing to do. By using
    the utensils and space available in the average kitchen, and
    by obtaining the freshest buckwheat flour available, you can
    make fresh buckwheat noodles that will delight and satisfy
    your family, friends, and guests.

    The process will be described in an easy-to-follow, step-by-
    step method. In the beginning, let this serve as a guide.
    Later, use it as a springboard for developing your own
    methods. With each batch, try to improve your technique,
    speed, and sense of rhythm. After several attempts, you'll
    gain a measure of confidence, and from then on you'll find
    yourself looking for any occasion to whip up a fresh batch
    of noodles for an impromptu lunch or dinner party.

    Keep in mind that the two most important elements for making
    successful soba noodles are obtaining fresh and sufficiently
    sifted flour, and then performing the initial mixing of the
    water into the flour in such a way as to allow the buckwheat
    to develop its own viscosity.

    INGREDIENTS Makes 2 1/2 pounds (1.1 kg) 5 1/4 cups
    buckwheat flour (700 g) 2 1/4 cups wheat flour (300 g) 2
    cups water (480 cc)

    Wait - there's more:

    EQUIPMENT Cutting boad [sic] Rolling pin Brad, well-
    sharpened kitchen knife Plastic wrap Large mixing bowl
    Strainers ...

    And then it stops. It's only an excerpt from a book reviewed
    on Amazon, but the rest of the recipe is missing.

    After watching a video on how to make it, I had put it
    off until Sunday. I'll let you know🙂

    Yes I know a google on Making Soba will yield a whole bunch
    of pictures about the technique. The main reason for the
    post was to give the dough recipe because it contains both
    types of flour.

    Good Luck - I think this may be more difficult than it
    first appears.
