Glute Free Homemade Buckwheat Soba Noodles with Asian Dressing
These noodles were easy to make. We did try without the Xanthan gum but they were fragile and tricky to pick up, Xanthan gum helped make them a lot easier to roll and handle. Once made cook within a few hours, or you can freeze the dough for a month and use as you wish.

Method
- Prepare the dressing by mixing all the ingredients together and reserve until needed.
- Sieve together into a large bowl the buckwheat and plain gluten free flour with the Xanthan gum.
- Add the water to the flour, then mix until a crumbly dough is formed. If it feels dry after a minute add a tablespoon of water. Knead the dough until smooth; it will take a few minutes.
- Sprinkle the counter and rolling pin with a little of the cornflour and place the dough on top. Cut the dough in half, then roll out one piece, working from the centre of the dough outward in long, even strokes. Try shaping the dough into as close to a rectangular shape as you can make it. Using more corn flour as needed to prevent sticking. You are trying to get your dough 1/16-inch to 1/8-inch thick (as thin as possible!).
- Trim the edges so they are straight, then using a rule cut into thin strips. Repeat with the rest of the dough until it’s all used up. Cook or freeze within a few hours of been made.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling drop in the soba noodles and cook for 60 seconds, then drain through a colander and rinse under cool water or place into a bowl of ice water. Drain and serve with dressing.
