Ingredients
Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare Soba Noodles
Bring 1 liter of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually about 5-7 minutes). Once cooked, drain and rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- 2
Prepare Tempura Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the tempura batter mix with ice water until just mixed. Do not over-mix; some lumps are fine.
- 3
Prepare Vegetables
Slice the vegetables into thin strips suitable for tempura. Ensure they are dry before dipping in the batter.
- 4
Heat Oil for Frying
In a deep frying pan or wok, heat vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float.
- 5
Fry Tempura
Dip the vegetable strips in the tempura batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining vegetables.
- 6
Prepare Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, mirin, and wasabi. Stir to combine.
- 7
Serve
Place the cold soba noodles on a plate or in a bowl. Arrange the tempura vegetables on the side. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve with the dipping sauce.
