Soba with Beef Soboro

A warm soup is great on a cold winter day. I am a fan of all kinds of noodle or pasta soups. On my way home I stopped at the butcher shop and bought 200 g lean beef mince.

Here in Germany you cook beef mince with onions and brown it to coarse bits. A while ago I saw on YT someone cook beef soboro and egg soboro. One thing is for sure, you need a good while to make a fine crumb ouf of the beef mince.  The best equipment for that are 4 wooden chopsticks.

Recipe for 2:
200 g lean beef mince
180 g organic soba noodles
1  yellow long pepper
1 spring onion
600 ml water
1 beef stock cube
1/2 tsp Instant dashi
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sake
1 tsp light sesame oil
Japanese pepper and salt
1 boiled egg

Bring the soup to a boil.
Cook the Soba for 4 minutes, wash under cold water.
In a high pan heat up the sesame oil and put the beef mince in. Take 4 chopsticks in one hand and start to swirl the beef until it becomes a very fine crumb and is cooked through.

Add peppers and onions to the soup for 2 minutes.
Bring everything together.
