TUNA (Ahi) SOBA NOODLES

Hi again my foodies, it is a nice morning so far here on Maui. Actually kind of chilly outside but nice. Just think in a few months it's going to be hot and humid, so we better enjoy these fresh crisp mornings eh? So today I'm going to share with you a dish called Tuna (Ahi) Soba Noodles. I'm not the one making it, actually our good friend master sushi chef Hiroyuki Terada will be demonstrating how to make it. Make sure you have a nice thin sharp slicing knife on hand. Or if you are already a sushi afficionado and have a sujihiki or yanigiba blade on hand, all the better. Just watch as chef slices the top portion of the tuna loin into thin sheets, and then he begins to slice thin strands into noodles. That's right. Noodles. He makes it and then washes it in an ice water bath, then for presentation puts the tuna soba on to a sushi rolling mat. Then garnishes it, and has a side of sauce made up of dashi, mirin, and soy sauce. Dashi is a broth made for miso soup as well, it is made up with either dashi granules for instant, or bonito flakes, which is a dried tuna that's salty. Mirin is a sweet sake, and of course soy sauce everyone knows what that is.

Watch the video it is interesting, and it is a rathr simple dish. Just purchase a block of fresh ahi loins, and practice your sushi knife skills.
