Buckwheat Soba

20211206 #breakfastdiary 288, -3°C/clear, 20min/workout Boil the buckwheat noodles, pouring in cold water two or three times along the way. Top with blanched okra and natto, then pour over a light, lukewarm tsuyu. #buckwheatsoba In Japan, noodles made with okra, natto, and mountain yam are called nebaneba (ネバネバ, an onomatopoeia meaning 'sticky-sticky') soba. It's a food people either love or hate, but luckily I'm quite confident about this kind of texture. On my way to work — speaking of stickiness that never falls behind, I'd recommend the blues, especially #SinchonBlues's debut album, the self-titled #SinchonBlues, which ranked 72nd on the #100GreatestKoreanPopAlbums list.
