Soba lunches

One of my favorite weekday bulk lunch preps is soba.

On Sunday, I boil a pot of soba noodles.  I also make a big batch of mentsuyu, chop some green onions, and bag some shredded nori and katsuobushi.  These form the base of my soba lunches, which I take every day for home lunch on weekdays.

To make things interesting for daily variation, I top with either grated daikon, or grated yamaimo as the first "variable topping".

The last variable topping is the thing that adds a lot of taste.  I can vary this ingredient up every day of the week - natto, ume, mentaiko, nametake, mekabu or mozuku.  I haven't yet tried, but want to try, adding things like julienne shiso leaves, tororo konbu, shio konbu, yuzu, wakame, etc.

Here are some of my variations:

Ume oroshi soba:
