Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When bonito flakes are unavailable, roast anchovies and dried shrimp in a dry pan or microwave until crispโ€”this yields a fresher, deeper umami flavor than bonito flakes.
  • After boiling, rinse the noodles vigorously under cold water, scrubbing them hard like laundry to remove surface starch, which preserves their chewy texture.
  • Squeeze the radish juice lightly to remove excess moisture before adding itโ€”this keeps the natural sweetness of the radish while preventing its sharp, pungent taste from overwhelming the broth.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to easily make restaurant-quality Cold Soba broth without artificial seasonings, using only natural ingredients.
  • People craving a refreshingly intense and clean noodle dish that cools you down to the core during hot summer days.
  • Those who donโ€™t prefer the taste of bonito flakes but still want to enjoy a rich, savory, and satisfying meal.
