My Notes:
Soba noodles are Japanese noodles made from Buckwheat flour.
The thickness is comparable to that of a spaghetti. But less calorie and more protein than the pastas, spaghetti and the rice vermicilli.
A small portion can be stomach filling.
Sliced tofu can be grilled on a hotplate / dosa tava and added to the dish. That will give a crispy firm texture.
Other ingredients like bean sprouts, egg omelette strips can also added to this dish.
