I enjoyed my cold soba noodles so much yesterday that I made the same dish again today—telling myself I needed to use up the leftover buckwheat noodles!

Ottogi Soba Sauce

While boiling the buckwheat noodles, I prepped the toppings—grated radish, chopped scallions, wasabi, seaweed, and sesame seeds.

And here’s the final touch! Adding just a few drops of sesame oil to the finished dipping sauce brings out a nutty aroma that makes everything taste even better. 

Cold Soba

Thanks to this sauce, I was able to enjoy authentic soba at home with no fuss. Honestly, I’m wondering why I didn’t try this sooner. It’s simple to prepare, great even when I have no appetite, and definitely something I’ll be keeping in my fridge from now on.
