Homemade Soba - Best Low-Gluten Noodle Recipe

 

I'm super happy today. Just produced the best batch of homemade soba noodles with my Joyoung Noodlemaker. It came out smoothly, without having the ridges appearing on the surface of the strands. Dry to the touch, held together well enough to not break as they appeared!!! I managed to get 460g worth of soba with a combination of 400g buckwheat flour + plain flour.

Cooked 150g for my two boys, and have four more servings for later on. Had it with tomatoes-garlic-onions-basil sauce. I know, it's a weird combination but the boys like it. So, i'll just call today's meal Sobaghetti, ok. I know, you all now want to know the ratio used in this batch of homemade low-gluten noodle recipe right.... here you go :

What To Do With The Extra Dough Left In The Noodlemaker?

With each batch of noodles that i make, for sure there will be some extra dough left behind inside the noodlemaker. I hate seeing food material go to waste and will try my best to remove as much as possible from the container. This is especially true when i'm making noodles like soba as the organic buckwheat flour that i use is expensive compared to just plain flour.

Last week, i made a batch of chasoba with my Joyoung Noodlemaker. So, what to do with the extra dough left in the noodlemaker? It's easy. Just roll them all up into a ball. If it is too dry, use a few drops of water to soften it.

Next, use a pair of clean kitchen scissors and snip the dough into uniform pieces. it's entirely up to you to snip it short or long. Just make sure the thickness is the same throughout. This is important as thicker dough requires an extra minute or two to cook and that might affect the thinner strips' cooked outcome.

I got this much with my extra chasoba dough, enough for one dish. Wonderful when cooked, chilled, and added to salad. Also makes a great stir-fry dish with some meat and vege. Try it :)

How To Make Chasoba Using A Noodlemaker (Video Guide)

It's another glorious Sunday. A great day to play with the Joyoung Noodlemaker. My 8yo was helping me with the ingredients and he found greentea powder inside the fridge. That gave me an idea to whip up a batch of Chasoba for today. We made Soba recently and everyone love its nutty flavor.

The ingredients for Chasoba remains the same as the ones listed at Homemade Soba Recipe, with the addition of a teaspoon of greentea powder. My little chef will be making it for you this time, cos, well, i need to hold the camera for this video, lol!!! The Joyoung Noodlemaker is his actually, and he is quite an expert at making noodles for an 8 year old kid. He is still a bit shy and did not face the camera much, yet eager to make his very first online appearance. Already a familiar face on my Facebook, and now, he will be on Youtube too :)

In this video, Chef M (Malcolm), will be showing you How To Make Chasoba Using A Noodlemaker with just 5 ingredients. Medium round disc is used for this batch of Homemade Chasoba. Enjoy the video :



This is the second part of the video that shows my left hand placed at the back of the noodles, guiding it down as it is being extruded from the disc:
