Toshikoshi soba
Hello, Cooks, thank you ALL for your recipes! Could not resist, before participating in the contest "new year TASTES of the PLANET." Please accept me into your ranks. Offer to cook Japanese BUCKWHEAT SOBA NOODLES. New year's special noodles called "soba toshikoshi" "noodles of longevity". Why noodles of longevity? The Japanese believe the longer the noodles get at the mistress, the longer the life will be. This is not surprising and from a practical perspective, because the soba noodles contains 10 times more essential amino acids than pasta or bread, as well as many lysine and rutin, plus choline, flavonoids, quercetin, thiamine, Riboflavin and hemicellulose, which serves to control constipation and is considered effective in dealing with internal cholesterol. 100 g soba contains about 334 calories. But from words to deeds. I suggest everyone to prepare noodles of longevity, which can decorate our table.

Cooking

step-0
Prepare your ingredients. Sift the flour, water to warm.
step-1
Mix 2 kinds of flour on the table or in the Cup. In flour add water. The amount of water depends on the quality of flour. If the dough crumbles, add water. If the dough is too soft and sticks prirezke to the knife you need to add flour. The correct dough for soba should be smooth, elastic and not sticking to hands. To the touch should be similar to the earlobe.
step-2
Roll the dough into a loaf, wrap in plastic wrap or put in bags and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes.
step-3
Roll out the dough into a thin layer. Correct the dough does not stick either to the table or to the rolling pin. If you have not, add flour on table and rolling pin.
step-4
The finished seam sprinkle a little flour, turn a few times and cut. Remember, the longer it is soba, the longer the life will be.
step-5
Boil water, add salt (if we eat it without soy sauce), cook for 1-2 minutes. Toshikoshi soba on new year's no soup, so after cooking it is washed. On ordinary days, if soba is served in a broth, then wash not worth it. Frugal Japanese Housewives water in which the soba was cooked, not poured, and used for cooking other dishes, because in a decoction of the leaves to 10% of the nutrients. (If not all cook the soba, then proceed as with the usual noodles, balances dry and leave until the next time.)
step-6
That's all! Interestingly, if you have the noodles in Japanese, you need to swallow it without chewing and a loud squish. But I think if you quietly and chew-will also be delicious. All good appetite and a long, happy life.
