#noodles

5 posts5 participants2 posts today

I love pho and ramen as much as anyone, but those aren’t the only types of noodles.

I grew up eating ‘kon lo mein’, which is Cantonese for any type of ‘dry’ noodles tossed with seasoning. It can be wanton, brisket, shredded chicken, or mushroom. Or anything. Almost every noodle culture has some form of ‘dry’ or ‘tossed’ noodles.

Today I’m having aburasoba, which is a Japanese take on Chinese ‘dry’ noodles. Also sometimes called mazesoba. In the bay area, I love Kajiken in San Mateo. Here in Seattle I’m having one at Slurp Station near UW.

They differ from tsukemen in that you don’t dip the noodles into a side soup, they just come with various toppings and a sauce that’s already pre-mixed.

I wish I had more ‘dry’ noodles. They’re my favorite types of noodles. Soup noodles only feel worth the effort when the soup is exceptionally great.
