Just made this but I forgot the bean sprouts, still good but I’d recommend them.
Took me a while to make this, but totally worth it. Next time I’ll chop my onions better tho.
This recipe is awesome! My whole family loved it. I added some chicken for protein.
Noodles good. I no know what mirin is tho. Can just use vinegar?
Simplistic flavor, not bad but not great either. A bit boring tbh.
Absolutely delicious! Used peanut instead of sesame oil, didn’t have any, and it worked!
It was alright, but felt like something was missing. Maybe more chili oil next time?
Um, can someone explain what nori is? Is it like seaweed? Not sure if I can find that.
Yes! Nori is indeed like seaweed. It’s often used in sushi. You can usually find it in the Asian aisle at the grocery store or at an Asian market. Don’t worry, it’s not too hard to find!
I dunno, I’m not a fan of seaweed stuff. Is that really necessary? Can’t you just skip it? Sounds weird to me.
This is the real deal! Love how simple yet authentic this recipe is. Made it last night and it was a hit!
Delicious! The sesame and garlic combo is just perfect. Will be making this again!
Sounds like a lot of work for noodles. I just boil them and eat with soy sauce.
Loved it!! Perfect comfort food after a long day. 🍜
Looks good, but isn’t it kinda simple? I feel like there’s gotta be more to comfort food than just noodles and sauce.
I totally agree! This dish really hits the spot. I love that it’s so easy to make too! 😍
My mom used to make abura soba too! And it was way better, no offense. This one looks easy tho.
I get what you’re saying! Nothing beats a mom’s cooking. But this recipe looks pretty convenient and I might give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
Too much soy sauce, wow. Only eated half because I couldn’t palate it. Disappointing.
I tried making it, but it turned out kinda bland. Maybe I didn’t add enough chili oil?
