  • Hi, I’m Francis,

  • the host of this show "Cooking with Dog."

  • First, let’s cut the vegetables.

  • Slice the red onion into thin slices.

  • Soak the onion in ice water to reduce the pungent taste.

  • Peel the cucumber with a peeler in a striped pattern.

  • Cut it in half lengthwise.

  • Then, slice it into thin slices using diagonal cuts.

  • Remove the root part of the kaiware radish sprouts

  • or garden cress and cut them in half.

  • Now, squeeze out the excess water from the onion

  • and place it onto a plate.

  • Next, let’s make the dipping sauce.

  • To the white sesame paste, add a little soba noodle soup base

  • and stir to dissolve.

  • Add the soup base in 2 to 3 steps

  • to help prevent the sauce from separating.

  • Add the grated ginger root, stir and the sesame sauce is ready.

  • Now, let’s cook the noodles.

  • Place the frozen soba noodles into a pot of boiling water.

  • Loosen up the noodles on high heat

  • and then, turn off the burner.

  • Remove the soba with a mesh strainer

  • and place it into cold water or rinse under running water.

  • Next, allow the soba to cool in a bowl of ice water.

  • Then, squeeze out the excess water

  • and place the soba into a bowl.

  • Add the sesame oil

  • and toss to coat.

  • This will help to keep the noodles from sticking together.

  • Now, place the very thin pork loin slices

  • into the same hot water in the pot.

  • Stir the slices until they turn white

  • and place them onto the cutting board covered with a paper towel.

  • Remove the excess water thoroughly.

  • Then, cut the pork into bite-size pieces.

  • Now, arrange the toppings onto the soba noodles.

  • Add the kimchi, fermented Korean side dish,

  • red onion,

  • cucumber

  • and pork slices.

  • Finally, distribute the kaiware radish sprouts on top.

  • A number of different Japanese toppings go great with this recipe.

  • Try adding tempura, toasted nori seaweed

  • or natto, fermented soybeans.

  • Dip the soba and vegetables into the chilled sesame sauce

  • and enjoy the refreshing crisp taste.

  • Along with the noodles,

  • this recipe offers a full balanced meal with meat and vegetables.

  • Good luck in the kitchen.
