Soba Noodles

Soba noodles are made from a combination of wheat and buckwheat flour. You can also purchase 100% buckwheat soba noodles which are fine for gluten intolerant folks since buckwheat is not a relative of wheat and has no gluten content.

There are many good brands.
Eden Foods is one of my favorites. They make several varieties of soba. Wild yam soba has (duh) wild yam added which is an herb thought to promote longevity.  It adds a light tender quality to the noodle.  Mugwort soba is sort of olive green colored and has mugwort added which is an herb thought to support the female reproductive system.

Best to follow package instructions to cook them. They usually only take about 7-9 minutes of dancing in boiling water.


We love serving soba noodles with Coconut Peanut Sauce, Lemon Tahini Sauce, Sesame Chile Dressing or use them to make Asian Noodle Salad.  How do you use your noodle?

We grind our own grain and would love a really good soba noodle recipe!

Just found your site, and as a vegan, I'm loving your recipes. I just made your pan-fried tofu today. Delicious! I wanted to point out that Soba is Japanese for buckwheat, not noodle. Thanks again for the amusing and enlightening videos!
