Kitsune Soba (Fox Buckwheat Noodles)

I was still feeling under the weather yesterday, so I decided to include shiitake and miso for dinner.

Preparing two separate dashis (soup stocks). On the left is kombu dashi for the miso and to the right is shiitake dashi for the soba.


Panfrying, then dousing the tofu in cold water


Dinner served with edamame. In Japanese folklore foxes love tofu, particularly fried. Thus the name Kitsune Soba, or Fox Buckwheat Noodles :).
