Tired of the same old beehoon and pasta? We went looking for new noodles to try and found some interesting Hakubaku selections
I love noodles. They can be anything from beehoon to fishball noodles to pasta. So imagine my delight when I stumbled upon green tea noodles. Hakubaku has quite a selection of interesting noodles. They were recently voted No. 1 Soba in USA, one of the other accolades they boast of.
Noodles infused with tea
Needless to say the first that caught my eye was the Organic Cha Soba Authentic Japanese Green Tea Noodles. I was wondering if the soup would taste like green tea too. With a cooking time of 3 minutes, I definitely would be finding out my answer soon!
One of their most popular selling products would be the Cha Soba noodles. It would actually be a good alternative to the usuals. A suggested recipe would be to prepare lettuce cups to serve the cha soba noodles with, framed with prawns and generously dressed with Japanese dressing. Just reading it made me hungry again.
A taste of Japan at home
I think my favourite would have to be udon though. It reminds me of Japan and it can be cooked right from home, with my own set of ingredients. Most Japanese restaurants in Singapore fall short of their Japanese counterparts, now I can try my hand at it too!
One of the more unusual noodles would be the Organic Somen. I have not seen it prior to this. Somen is the mee suah of the Japanese, even their suggested ingredients are very much like ours too. I’m going to whip up mine with eggs and light veggies!
Are you excited for some new noodles yet?
