How to Make Buckwheat Noodles And Oriental Style Soup

  1. **Noodles:**
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups buckwheat flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour.
  3. Gradually add ¾ cup of cold water, swirling with one hand to combine the flour and water.
  4. Quickly incorporate the flour and water. Set aside remaining ¼ cup of water.
  5. Using both hands, pick up clumps of the dough, squeeze, and drop them back into the bowl. Repeat until the flour and water are well mixed.
  6. The dough should be pliable but not sticky. Add the remaining water if needed.
  7. Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes using a mixer (or by hand) until smooth and elastic (it will become shiny).
  8. Generously dust a work surface with buckwheat flour. Divide the dough into 3 portions.
  9. Roll each portion into a thin (⅛-inch thick) sheet. Use a sharp knife to cut into ¼-inch wide noodles.
  10. Separate the noodles and hang them on a pasta drying rack or lay them flat on paper towels to dry slightly.
  11. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the noodles and cook for 3-5 minutes. Immediately drain and rinse under cold water.
  12. **Soup:**
  13. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 small chopped onion, and 8 oz sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 4 minutes.
  14. Pour in 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for non-vegetarian), 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon wasabi paste, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar.
  15. Bring to a boil. Add 1 medium zucchini (diced), 1 cup frozen peas, and 1 bell pepper (diced).
  16. Simmer for no more than 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  17. To serve, divide ¾ cup of cooked noodles into each bowl. Ladle the soup over the noodles, distributing the vegetables evenly.
  18. Enjoy!
