Tensoba (Tempura Soba / Tenzaru Soba). Tensoba is a dish of deep-fried tempura and Japanese soba served together, either hot or cold. The hot version of this dish features soba noodles in a mild broth of dashi and soy sauce, topped with pieces of seafood and vegetable tempura.
Soba is actually the healthiest type of noodle as well because it's made from buckwheat and it's also low GI! So this dish is pretty healthy… besides the fried tempura. Although, even though the tempura is fried, it is made with prawns and vegetables so this is a pretty well-rounded dish.
Soba is a Japanese noodle made from buckwheat flour and water, and sometimes a bit of whole-wheat flour to keep the noodles from deteriorating. Making soba by hand is an intensely complicated process that artisans spend years studying.
