Citrus & Ginger Soba Noodles

Not my favorite :( The raw shallot was not pleasing, and I didn’t love the citrus flavor either.

Thanks so much for trying the recipe and sharing the feedback, Aileen! We totally get that raw shallot can be a bit strong. In case it helps for future recipes, letting the shallot sit in the dressing for a little before eating helps reduce the sharpness. And if you have any leftovers, adding a touch more soy sauce or mirin could balance it out. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, and we hope you enjoy our recipe more ☺️

Such good hot summer dinner
I did add carrots to it

So yummy and fresh! Great summer meal! Will add to the regular rotation!

This is one of my favorite noodle recipes. The sweet/sour flavors just burst in your mouth.

The recipe is great and my Japanese husband is very happy. However, I wonder if the amount for soba is very little for four people, unless it's meant as appetizer.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with it, Olivia! This dish is indeed meant as a snack, side, or appetizer. More filling recipes will have the "main" tag ☺️

Tip for those who can't find mirin, substitute with equal parts rice vinegar and real maple syrup. Ex: 1 Tbsp mirin = 1/2 Tbsp rice vinegar + 1/2 Tbsp maple syrup.
