RECIPE

Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Sliced horsemeat 200g
  • Soba Noodle 2 servings
  • Ginger 1/2 piece
  • Dashi (=Japanese soup stock) 3 cups
  • Soy sauce 2 tbsp.
  • Green onion 10g

  • [Seasoning A] Sugar 1/2 tbsp.
  • [Seasoning A] Sake 2 tbsp.
  • [Seasoning A] “Akazake” (=red sake from Kumamoto) or “Mirin” (=sweet rice wine) 2 tbsp.

How to cook

  • 1. Boil the horsemeat, remove the scum from it, and drain the water.

  • 2. Put the horsemeat from step 1, grated ginger, and the ingredients for Seasoning A into a pot. Add enough water to the pot so that the ingredients are covered in water. Simmer on a medium heat. Once the water comes to a boil, lower the heat, and cook until the horsemeat is tender. (Add water as necessary while cooking)

  • 3. Finely chop the green onion.

  • 4. Boil the soba noodle to a desired consistency.

  • 5. Boil the dashi (=Japanese soup stock), add the soy sauce, and season to taste.

  • 6. Add the soba to the dashi in step 5. When it comes to a boil again,  pour them in bowls. Top with the horsemeat and chopped green onions and serve. As the gravy will also come out, do not add too much salt to the soup.
