Hakubaku Organic Soba, Authentic Japanese Buckwheat Noodles, (no salt added) 9.5-Ounce (Pack of 8)

These are products that I've purchased several times, thinking they were made of I missed a small print under Ingredients that stated that 70% of the wheat was organic, 30% buckwheat. What happened? In addition to the negative reviews, I have noticed that the product contains wheat. The wheat content should be clearly displayed on the package, not just the A very misleading statement for those who require gluten-free food The wheat that they think is free is actually wheat they have to pay for. The only reason why I gave it three stars is because so far it has not had any negative effects. From now on, I will order a different product.

Buckwheat is only 30% of the grain. It tastes very mild / bland for soba noodles in general. Soba noodles are made of 30% buckwheat and 70% wheat, so it doesn't taste anything like soba pasta. The taste of buckwheat pasta should be easy to adjust to, but soba fans will have little interest in it since it lacks the depth of flavor of Japanese soba. A package of 3 bundles will serve 3 people just fine. It does not seem reasonable to cook for 4 minutes For my tastes, I prefer it boiled for 5 minutes. Price is good, but I prefer the stronger buckwheat flavor, so I will take a look at soba noodles that contain at least 80%.

I again did not read the entire package, so I am to blame for the misleading packaging. Please be aware of the dangers!.

If the soba is very dark, I prefer it since it usually means it has a higher percentage of buckwheat (excluding brands that use coloring to achieve this Keeping an eye on things is important). A taste of the nutty toasty flavor of buckwheat and the slightly grained texture is appealing to me. There is a problem with this brand of soba it is exceptionally light in color. The amount of buckwheat in the meal made me wonder why they used so much. Neither the nutty flavor nor the fresh taste of the fruit really stood out to me. It says to cook it for 4 minutes in the directions. You should cook Asian noodles for that long at a rolling boil, then rinse with cold water (yes, you are supposed to rinse Asian noodles, not like pasta, where you are not supposed to rinse), and then they are sufficiently chewy. It's forgiving even if I cooked it for about a minute longer than I should have There was no crumbling or mushy taste to it. While it is great that there are organic noodles, I will stick with my favorite Korean brand since these aren't organic.

Since I went vegan a year ago, my Korean neighbors have been willing to share their ethnic recipes with me. They often have recipes containing soba noodles, such as cold soup and noodles with sauce on a mat, however I am not too familiar with their cuisine so I thought I would try some other soba noodles (like these since they are organic) instead of the brand she suggested. Compared to those, these just didn't measure up. noodles did not have a nice, firm texture like the other Japanese soba noodles she recommended, and their texture was similar to the spaghetti / angel hair noodles we ate in the United States. I can't quite describe the other noodles, but they have a firm texture, but do not seem undercooked, etc. These do not have Neither do they need the dark color of the other noodles (I wonder if it has to do with the buckwheat content)? The organic nature of these is appealing to me. Continuing my quest for organic soba noodles which are similar to the ones my Korean neighbors recommended, I must now discover where to buy them.

The noodles are great and are not readily available in my area except at an exorbitant price in one market. I took a chance on buying these Soba noodles (buckwheat noodles), since they are hard to come by in my area. There is an Asian market 60 miles away, but I'd have to drive 60 miles and would have to deal with the gas cost and the guilt of CO2, etc. A worthwhile experiment seemed to be at hand. There WAS no doubt about it! This is a great idea. It is easy to prepare them since they come in convenient packets, and they are packaged in sensible sizes. It takes minutes for them to cook even at our high altitude. The edamame, chicken, sesame oil, and a broth (or chicken stock) plus vegetables, plus bok choy or other sides have been my go-to quick meals. In a packet there are 4 servings that are suitable for starter soup or 2 servings for a main dinner Depending on how many people are eating and what you throw into the bowl, you might serve 3 as a meal. There will be no need to worry about spoilage, because I will again purchase these noodles and try other varieties from Hakubaku Organic.

I'm learning my Asian basics and am very happy to learn about it. My parents' original soba is eight years old, so I usually order it in 8-inch Boxes should be packed. There are 3 individually wrapped 3-piece packs in every pack These portions would probably be enough for a meal for two people. This recipe is quick and easy to prepare - it takes only a few minutes to prepare Pasta made from rice is actually a great improvement over wheat. It has a bit of a chewy texture. I found a great recipe for soup made with soba noodles in Prevention magazine. It was really good. As I was about to microwave the leftovers the next day, I took a bite cold and was stunned by how cold they were In the process, I found out I liked it more this The cold soba now appeals to me more As a matter of fact, I have read that eating cold pasta is better for us than eating hot pasta. A serving of this soba contains 200 calories and a couple of grams of fiber, as well as being sodium-free. There's no charge. I plan to keep this product on hand for now and it is a good product all around.

This brand of soba has been in my cupboard for a long time due to its It tastes great when eaten with traditional soup or Besides eating it with various broths (pho, spicy beef stew from Vietnam, bun bo hue, etc. ), I've also eaten it with various snacks. The taste of this dish makes it an excellent carb replacement for rice noodles and rice vermicelli.
