Les soba [...] sont avec les udon les pâtes les plus consommées au Japon. On les prépare avec de la farine de sarrasin mélangée à de l'eau, que l'on étale sur une plaque et qu'on tranche en fines lamelles d'environ 1 à 2 mm de largeur. On les plonge ensuite dans de l'eau bouillante, comme on le fait pour les pâtes européennes. Elles sont généralement consommées soit dans un bol rempli de tsuyu chaud (sorte de bouillon), soit rincées à l'eau froide. 1, record 1, French, - soba
