Preamble

This is a derivative work, adding only the nutrition data found at the end. The original page, if it is still available, contains illustrations and recipe notes not (yet?) mirrored here, so I recommend checking it out at least once, especially if you intend to make this recipe!

Ingredients

• arame (handful)
• soy sauce (30 ml)
• sake (30 ml)
• mirin (30 ml)
• natural brown sugar (5g)
• buckwheat noodles (2 portions)
• sesame oil (2.5 ml)
• carrots (1)
• garlic (2 cloves)
• tempeh (60 g)
• sichuan peppercorns (To taste)

Directions

• Put handful of dried arame in a bowl and cover with a cup of water. Let re-hydrate for at least 5 minutes, drain.
• In a small bowl, mix the sauce ingredients together. 30 ml (2 tbsp) of soy sauce, 30 ml of sake, 30 ml (2 tbsp) of mirin and 5 g (1 tsp) of natural commercial brown sugar. Keep aside.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil, add 2 portions of soba ( buckwheat noodles ) and give them a quick stir so they go underwater. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 4-5 minutes. Drain, rinse and transfer to a pot of cold water. Wash the noodles using your hands to remove the excess starch, drain and place in a bowl. Then, toss noodles with 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) of sesame oil.
• Julienne 1 carrot, chop 2 cloves of garlic and cut 60g of tempeh into small cubes.
• Heat a pan with a drizzle of sesame oil at medium heat and sautee the 2 minced garlic cloves for a minute until fragrant. Add the tempeh as well as the julienned carrot and cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Pour the sauce and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the tempeh and carrots are cooked, then turn off heat and add cooked soba noodles and the arame. Stir until noodles are well-coated.
• Season with some sichuan pepper.
