Uni Soba at Honmura An


Does anyone else miss Honmura An in NYC? They had some great homemade soba noodles. My favorite was the cold uni soba. Since Honmura An closed I had to make my own. I topped some buckwheat soba noodles with tsuyu broth, shaved bonito flakes, seaweed, scallions and creamy uni. It was just as good!

Tsuyu Broth for Soba noodles

4 cups water
1/2 cup of bonito flakes
1/2 cup soy sauce
4 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

1) Boil water. Steep bonito flakes for 20 minutes.
2) Strain out bonito flakes. Measure out 2 1/2 cups of broth.
3) Add soy sauce, mirin, and rice wine vinegar. Chill

*this broth can be used as a sauce for tempura. Adjust flavors according to your taste.
