Soba Noodle Bowl With Smoked Trout Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients for the stock except the salt and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer 20 minutes. Strain. Season to taste with salt and a little sugar if desired.
• Bring the stock to a simmer. If the noodles have been refrigerated, warm them by placing them in a strainer and dipping the strainer into the simmering broth. Then distribute the noodles among four deep soup bowls. Add the broccoli to the stock and simmer 3 minutes. Add the trout fillets and the white and light green parts of the scallions. Cover and turn off the heat. Allow to sit for 3 minutes.
• Set a piece of trout on top of the noodles in each bowl. Ladle in the soup, taking care to distribute the broccoli and scallions evenly among the bowls. Sprinkle black sesame seeds and the dark green part of the scallions over each serving and serve.

Steps:

• Bring the stock and shredded ginger to the boil in a large pan, add the noodles, then simmer for 4 mins until tender.
• Drain, then cool under cold running water. Mix together the soy, tahini and 2 tbsp water (or more if you need) to make a dressing the consistency of single cream. Toss the cooled noodles and fish with the dressing and cucumber. Scatter with the spring onions and sesame seeds, then drizzle with a little sesame oil, if using.

Steps:

• Heat the oven (or a toaster oven) to 300. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In another large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil; stir in the bonito flakes, turn off the heat and steep for 10 minutes, no more. Strain into a large bowl; discard the flakes.
• Put the soy sauce, mirin, sugar and a pinch of salt in the pot you used to make the broth; bring to a boil. Let it boil for a minute, then add the bonito stock; bring it back to a boil, and transfer 6 cups to a separate pot and keep hot. (This will be the broth for the soup; what remains is for cooking the eggs.) Toast the nori in the oven until slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Cut into quarters and set aside. Crack the eggs into a bowl or a large measuring cup with a spout and beat until frothy.
• Cook the noodles in the boiling water until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes, then drain, quickly rinse under cold running water and drain again. Put a portion of noodles into each of four soup bowls. Using a circular pouring motion, slowly stream the eggs, 1/3 at a time, into the smaller amount of boiling broth; as the first third sets, add the second; as the second sets, add the third, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit for a minute. In the meantime ladle the stock (the one without the eggs in it) over the noodles. Use a slotted spoon to scoop a portion of the egg into each bowl, garnish with the nori and scallions and serve.
