Ingredients
- 1 cup buckwheat flour
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp white miso paste
- 2 cups dashi stock
- 1/4 cup, thinly sliced green onions
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1/4 tsp wasabi paste
Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, mix 1 cup buckwheat flour and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Gradually add 3/4 cup water while stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth, then wrap and rest for 30 minutes.
- Step 2: Roll dough into a thin sheet (about 1/8-inch thick), then cut into 1/8-inch wide noodles. Boil 4 quarts of salted water in a pot, add noodles, and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
- Step 3: In a small pot, whisk 2 tbsp white miso paste into 2 cups dashi stock until dissolved. Heat gently over low heat for 5 minutes until simmering (do not boil). Toss drained noodles with 1/4 cup sliced green onions, 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds, and 1/4 tsp wasabi paste. Serve hot with miso broth poured over the top.
