Cooking tips 💡
- Frozen buckwheat noodles can be softened without boiling—just pour hot water over them and stir for 1 minute to prevent breaking and maintain a chewy texture.
- Cut spring onion lengthwise into long strips to preserve its crisp texture and make it easier to wrap around the noodles when eating.
- Use plenty of seaweed powder for enhanced savoriness and a richer, more satisfying umami flavor.
