2 Tbsp. mirin

1 Tbsp. sake

1 tsp. salt

Ichimi or Shichimi Togarashi (I use Season with Spice brand)

2 frozen shrimp tempura (packaged)

7 oz (200 g) dried soba noodles

2 Tbsp. soy sauce

4 cups (1000 ml) water

1 Kamaboko (fish cake)

1 bunch komatsuna or spinach

3 inch Tokyo negi or 1 scallion/green onion

Equipment:

sauce pan

frying pan

paper towels

sieve

knife

pot

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

Soak kombu in water overnight.Transfer kombu and water into a saucepan. Bring the water to a boil. When its almost boiling, remove kombu from water and discard.Add katsuobushi and simmer for 30 seconds. Then turn off the heat and let katsuobushi sink to the bottom of pan. Let Katsuobushi seep for about 10 minutes.Strain the dashi over a large strainer lined with a paper towel set over another saucepan. Gently twist and squeeze the paper towel to release any remaining dashi into the saucepan.Add mirin, sake, soy sauce, and salt in the dashi and bring the soup to a boil. Set aside until warming up later.Insert a knife at the bottom of kamaboko to separate it from the wooden board. Then cut the kamaboko into slices.Slice Tokyo negi thinly and cut komatsuna into 2 inch pieces.Boil the komatsuna in salted water. I first boil the hard bottom parts of komatsuna since they take longer to cook. Then add the leafy part later. Once they are tender, take them out and soak in ice water to stop cooking. Drain well.Bake shrimp tempura at 400F for 15 minutes, or according to the package instructions.Meanwhile boil two large pots of water (See Note). One for cooking soba noodles and the other pot for warming up the noodles after washing them. Cook soba according to the package instructions less 30 seconds*. Mine says cook for 4 minutes, so I cook 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Unlike pasta, you do not need to add salt to the water.Drain the soba noodles and wash the noodles with hand under cold water to get rid of slimy texture.Then transfer the soba noodles into the other pot of boiling water to warm up the noodles again. Once they are warm, drain and place them into a serving bowl.Pour hot soup over the noodles and place toppings. Sprinkle shichimi togarashi or ichimi togarashi if you like it spicy. Serve immediately.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
