Frequently Asked Questions
How to cook dry soba noodles?
Fill a pot with a sufficient amount of water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat, and cook the noodles until al dente. Once the noodles are cooked to your liking, drain them in a colander or sieve. Rinse them under cold running water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch. This helps maintain the texture and prevents them from sticking together. Transfer the soba to a plate and serve immediately.
Can I make miso chicken soba noodles ahead of time?
Yes, you can marinate the chicken in the miso paste mixture the night before, and cook it just before serving to retain its optimal texture and flavor. Also, to ensure the soba noodles have the best texture, cook it before serving.

I’ve never heard of rocket leaves. What do they taste like and where do you find them? I love in Midwest America.
I used Japanese rocket leaves also known as Arugula.
