Soba noodles w/ tofu and broccoli & sweet potato tempura by Mandakini Margaret Baba

I don't really have any recipes, but here's what i did. For the noodles~ cook soba noodles until done, then drain, rinse with cold water and set aside. in a separate pot combine water, sugar, soy sauce, and a piece of kombu. Boil until reduced by about 1/4-1/3.

for the tempura~ mix flour, salt, baking powder, and water to make a batter similar to pakora batter. dip your choice of veggies in batter and then coat with panko bread crumbs. fry until golden brown.
