- Perilla oil – 1 Tbsp
- Shredded seaweed (gim/nori) – a little

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare one portion of buckwheat noodles for a solo meal. Using pre-packaged soba noodles makes this recipe even quicker.
Step 2
Bring a generous amount of water to a rolling boil in a pot. Add the buckwheat noodles and cook for about 5 minutes. Cooking times can vary depending on the noodle brand, so it’s a good idea to check the package instructions.
Step 3
Once cooked, rinse the noodles under cold running water. Gently rub them to remove excess starch and prevent sticking. This step is crucial for achieving a chewy texture.
Step 4
Drain the rinsed noodles thoroughly in a colander. Ensure all excess water is removed, as any remaining water can dilute the flavor of the sauce.
Step 5
Place the drained noodles into a serving bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of tsuyu and 1 tablespoon of savory perilla oil. Gently toss the noodles to coat them evenly with the sauce.
Step 6
Finally, garnish generously with shredded seaweed and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor and aroma. Your delicious perilla oil buckwheat noodles are ready to be enjoyed!
