i love tea and i love noodles. So i tried to combine the 2

2 cups semolina
1 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp matcha
1/2 cup water

mixed it all up, rolled it out, cut it, boiled it and made a spicy sesame sauce to put over the top. YUMMMM

then made them again and rolled em and cut em into steamed dumpling wrappers. Filled them with a bombination of tempeh, burdock, lotus root, waterchestnuts, shallot, thai chili, garlic, ginger, 5 spice powder, shoyu, mirin and shaoshing. YEAH!

will try with different types of flour next time

    Very few US restaurants have it, but you'll find it in good Japanese grocery stores: cha soba. For those in LA area, Izayoi in Little Tokyo serves it cold, and you should still be able to request some yamaimo to go with it.

      yeah, it is easy to get packaged chasoba in the bay area. But there is nothing like freshly made noodles!
      I have been trying to make homemade soba this past year. Last month, i finally got a decent result. There is something very mysterious about making buckwheat turn into a noodle. Wheat is easy...

      mmmm yamaimo with soba :)
