Soba Noodle Soup

Eric Bakker N.D.March 28, 2022

The great thing about Soba Noodle Soup is that you can keep all the necessary ingredients on hand at all times (garlic, ginger, mushrooms, soba noodles, etc) then add whatever vegetables you have, if you have any. This recipe is also endlessly flexible. Try some tofu or chicken if you have it, mung bean sprouts would be lovely and so would be a sprinkling of fresh coriander leaves, and sesame oil will impart a heavenly flavor as well. Try in addition to stir in some lightly beaten egg. What a meal!
