Soba noodles in a creamy sauce
Soba is the Japanese name for buckwheat. It usually means thin noodles made from buckwheat flour, or a combination of buckwheat and wheat flours. It has many more health benefits than regular noodles and can be found in most health food stores and organic sections of supermarkets. If you are using them, and you have cooked them and aren't using them right away, rinse them again in warm water until they separate, otherwise they will be very sticky and one clump.
