Stupid Zarusoba

This is a recipe for my stupid version of Zarusoba, because I do have a bottle of Mentsuyu lying around. Extremely inauthentic, but doable by an idiot like me. Fried shrimp goes well with it.

Ingredients

1. 1/3 pack of 200g soba noodles
2. 4 tbsp of 3-bai Mentsuyu
3. some cheap dried seaweed from a 7-Eleven nearby
4. a bowl of very cold tap water (to wash the cooked noodles)
5. a cup of very cold filtered water (to mix with the Mentsuyu)

Instructions

1. Put the soba noodles in boiled (but not rolling) water for 4.5 - 5 mins.
2. Quickly put the cooked soba noodle into a colander. Shake to get rid of water as much as you can.
3. Dunk the noodle into the bowl of cold water to stop the cooking
4. Put the cooled noodle into a colander again. Shake to get rid of water as much as you can.
5. Put the noodle onto the dish. Add the dried seaweed on top (rip the seaweed to pieces if it’s the big sheet kind)
6. Mix the Mentsuyu and the cup of very cold filtered water. Adjust to taste.
