Tips:

  • Mise en place:  As with any cooking, mise en place is key. Make sure to have all of your ingredients prepped and measured before you start cooking.
  • Use fresh ingredients:  This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. If you can, try to use organic or locally-grown ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp:  Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality soba noodle:  Soba noodles are made from buckwheat flour, which gives them a slightly nutty flavor. Look for soba noodles that are made with 100% buckwheat flour.
  • Make the tsuyu sauce ahead of time:  The tsuyu sauce is a simple sauce made with dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Serve the dish immediately:  Soba noodles are best served immediately after they are cooked. If you need to store them, you can do so in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Japanese shrimp and soba noodles is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious Japanese meal that the whole family will enjoy.
