To make a winter version, add warm water to your tsuyu (dipping sauce). For toppings, I put green onions and tororo (a very soft and thinly sliced seaweed). It will definitely warm you up!Happy New Year, Sue! I've enjoyed reading all about Korean cuisine and look forward to your posts in 2007!

No one told me I was supposed to have warm dipping sauce. Then I didn't need to freeze it in the first place. It would have been good to know that before I had them. I was freezing cold while I was eating them and still cold from thinking about them. :) I remember I had cold noodles on oomisoka when I was in Japan, so I thought I was supposed to have cold noodles.

There's no telling what happens in the future. Sure, there isn't. I understood I couldn't what happen in a few seconds. Ha! How's your new year beginning? Mine looks nicer this year, because I found this blog! Wow, I happened to find your site, mistakingly typed “toshikosi” in alphabet, not in Japanese… and found you!

Next year, you'll be prepared, although, since you'll be going to Australia, the summer way, might be better for your toshikoshi soba :) Usually the dipping sauce needs to be diluted with water, so we usually do cold water in summer and chill the noodles by adding ice cubes onto them, then in winter we dilute the sauce with warm or hot water and instead of serving them on the side (the summer way), we put the noodles into the soup (do it right before you’re about to eat or the noodles will get too soft and mushy).

Without it, you'll waste most of the taste of soba. You have to make sounds when you slurp it. It'll make us feel eerie when you don't. :) You gotta enjoy both the taste and the sound. It's the manner when you eat noodles Japanese style. Of course, you mustn't make sounds when you eat other things. Oh, oh, I've never heard of freezing tsuyu, but next summer I'll try it. It sounds nice on hot days. And I have to add one thing that seems the most important when you eat it. Without it, you’ll waste most of the taste of soba.

We have buckwheat noodles as a Korean cuisine, and there is a Japanese version as well. There is a slight difference and this recipe is close to the Japanese version. I hope you don't have difficulty in finding the ingredients, once I move to Australia I can show you what is available. :D Hi tigerfish,
