To make Sobat, a traditional Korean noodle dish, you will need the following ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (225 grams) of soba noodles
- 4 cups (960 milliliters) of water
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of honey or sugar

- 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
- 1 green onion, finely chopped

Here’s how you can prepare Sobat:
- Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions. Usually, you will need to boil them in water for about 4-5 minutes until they are cooked but still firm. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey (or sugar), minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
- Place the cooked soba noodles in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss them gently to coat evenly.
- Garnish the noodles with chopped green onions and any optional toppings you prefer, such as sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, or sesame seeds. Feel free to get creative and add other vegetables or proteins of your choice.
- Serve the Sobat noodles chilled or at room temperature. You can enjoy them as a refreshing appetizer, side dish, or light meal.
Sobat is a versatile dish, so feel free to adjust the seasonings and toppings according to your taste preferences. Enjoy your homemade Sobat!
