Soba noodles are often sold dried in Asian supermarkets or major supermarkets. Traditionally, it’s made with buckwheat noodles which are gluten free. However, most soba noodles you find in the shops are mostly a mix of wheat and buckwheat flour. In this recipe, we used a green tea soba which is quite fun with the green colour. If you can’t find soba noodles, you can also replace it with somen or udon.

Yuzu is a kind of citrus from Japan. It is very fragrant and makes beautiful salad dressing, sauces and marinade. Fresh yuzu is very hard to find in Australia, but bottled yuzu juice can be found in Asian supermarkets. Alternatively, you can replace yuzu juice with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar for this recipe.
