Toshikoshi soba, loosely translated as “year-turning noodles," is a traditional Japanese meal used to ring in the new year. It's traditionally made with dashi, and if you're feeling adventurous, you can search the internet for traditional recipes and replace the broth here with dashi stock. This recipe is modified to help you make a less salt-heavy version with ingredients that are easily found in your grocery store, but if you have a chance to check out your local Asian market and ask for guidance, you're sure to discover new flavors that will delight you.
