Hello from Phoenix,Arizona! The Arizona temp is very high in summer time! Usually over 100F in summer, we use an AC 24/7! But as Okinawan people, we never forget Okinawan soul and always dance Kachashi-(Okinawan dance). We don’t have Hinukan (God of fire) here but we will make Okinawa soba!(noodle).
Okinawa soba is a type of noodle soup produced in Okinawa, Japan. In Okinawa we called soba, or suba in many Okinawan dialects, Okinawa soba made form Flour, although it is different from buckwheat noodles known as soba in the rest of Japan, very similar to Udon noodle style or chicken noodle soupe.

In Arizona you can purchase this premade Okinawa soba at specialty grocery store but pretty expensive and taste is so, so I strongly recommend you should make your own noodle!
Okinawa Soba (noodles) can be made very easily with ingredients from your pantry. To recruit help from your hubby or kid, tell them, “this is play dough” so they can knead the dough for you.
The most important point is this noodle does not have preservatives, as opposed to dried noodles. Fresh noodles taste much better as well! Stay tuned as I continue to introduce more delicious Okinawan food to you!
