If it would have been a case of walk-in to a restaurant, we would not have ordered this thinking that how will it taste but surprisingly, it was yummy!

It came with a simple description and with all the ingredients ready to pour in. Appreciable it is that the ingredients were fresh and were well packed. The recipe is easy and anyone can cook this as the ease of their home to get this wonderful flavor.FullSizeRender_2

These noodles are made from buckwheat flour and have a corresponding strong and nutty flavor. Many buckwheat noodles have some wheat flour in them, which means they are not gluten free. However, pure buckwheat soba can be found – it’s stronger in flavor and really delicious, and gluten-free. We generally find dried soba noodles in packets, but keep your eyes open for fresh soba at Asian Markets. Dried soba look like flat spaghetti and is usually light beige to dark brown-gray in color. Try soba in our recipe Cook Gourmet style.

While the blender is running, add canola oil gradually. Season with salt and pepper.
