Main Ingredients- 2 servings buckwheat noodles
- 30 perilla leaves
- 1 low-salt pollock roe
Noodle Seasoning- 5 Tbsp Tsuyu (Japanese soup base)
- 5 Tbsp perilla oil
- 5 Tbsp Tsuyu (Japanese soup base)
- 5 Tbsp perilla oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the fresh perilla leaves thoroughly under running water and pat them dry. Roll the leaves tightly and thinly slice them into shreds; this makes them easy to mix with the noodles.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the buckwheat noodles and cook for slightly less than the time indicated on the package (usually 6-7 minutes). Overcooked buckwheat noodles can lose their desirable texture.
Step 3
Once the noodles are cooked, immediately drain them and rinse under cold running water. Rub the noodles gently with your hands while rinsing to remove excess starch. This process ensures the noodles are firm and wonderfully chewy.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine 5 tablespoons of Tsuyu and 5 tablespoons of perilla oil. Whisk or stir well until thoroughly mixed to create a delicious sauce for your buckwheat noodles. The savory depth of Tsuyu combined with the nutty richness of perilla oil creates a fantastic flavor profile.
Step 5
Arrange the prepared shredded perilla leaves attractively at the bottom of your serving bowl. The fragrant essence of the perilla leaves will meld beautifully with the noodles, enhancing the overall taste.
Step 6
Place the cold, drained buckwheat noodles neatly on top of the perilla leaves in the bowl. Add the low-salt pollock roe on top, either breaking it up into pieces or placing it whole. Finally, drizzle the prepared perilla oil and Tsuyu sauce over the noodles. Mix everything together to taste and enjoy this delightful dish. You can also add shredded seaweed or sesame seeds for extra flavor, if desired.
