Step 1

In a large pot, start boiling water for cooking soba noodles. Once it is boiling, cook soba noodle for 6-7 minutes (or follow the directions on the package.) Do not overcook the soba! Reserve some soba cooking water (up to 1/4 cup.) Drain and rinse under running water to remove the starch. Shake off the excess water and set aside.

Step 2

In a large prep bowl, combine umeboshi paste and 1 tbsp soba cooking water. Mix well. Then add soba noodles. Toss gently to avoid breaking noodles. Add a little more soba cooking water if it is too dry. Set aside.

Step 3

In an 8 oz liquid measuring cup (or small bowl), combine matcha powder and hot water. Whisk quickly until matcha powder dissolved into the hot water.

Step 4

Serve the soba noodles in a bowl then pour the matcha (about 2 oz per person.) Top it with scallion, extra umeboshi paste, and toasted sesame seeds.
