Making Soba Party

Filed under: — Andy @ 12:18 am

The first event at my new house was a "Lets make Soba” party. The house owner also has some farm land where he grows, among other things, Soba. For this reason, instead of the typical buying of the Soba flour from the store, we made Soba noodles from absolute scratch. The house owner does not play around when it comes to parties, and brought over all his tools and toys including a meat smoker and about 5 kilos of meat.
So here is how to have a Soba party:


Put the meat on hooks and place in the smoker. Start smoking the meat.


The raw Soba grain.


Shake to remove any leftover dirt, sticks, etc.


Use cool machine to separate the seed from the shell.


Sift to filter the seeds from the shells. The inside seed is a slightly greenish color.


Put seed back into cool machine to make Soba flour.


Mix with water and flour and knead till firm.


Create 100g serving sizes, use another tool to knead further and cut into long Soba noodles.


Remove meat from smoker


Brush on secret seasonings.


Soba, meat, Tempura, and lots of other goodies…


Eat and drink until all gone. :)
