Simple Spicy Soba Noodle Soup

Fermented is the new health buzzword and kimchi is a Korean fermented staple. This spicy side dish’s main ingredient is cabbage, along with spices. We used medium tofu, but if you prefer a softer or firmer tofu, feel free to use. Boxed chicken broth is now available at many different salt levels and organic. Adjust salt according to the broth you have chosen.

what to serve

Kimchi’s spicy heat is smoothed by the focused stone fruit and refreshing acidity of Riesling.

Generally, choose deep and wide soup bowls for Asian-style soups, wide and shallow bowls for more delicate soups, and chunkier ceramic-style bowls for heartier soups.
