Miso Soba 味噌そば Soba Noodles In Miso Soup With Hot Spring Egg

I know this is not the most traditional way of serving soba noodles but after a 10 km run, a bowl of miso soup just won't cut it so I added some soba noodles and a hot spring egg to the everyday Japanese staple. Despite being a meatless meal; this nutritious bowl of noodles is both comforting and satisfying, the best thing is it takes very little effort to prepare. 

This will be my last Japanese or Japanese inspired dish for the time being, see you on Monday for the latest Muhibbah Malaysian Monday roundup. Please send in your entries to sureshchong@hotmail.com if you would like any of your post to be included by 6am Melbourne time on Monday.
