- 2/3 cup Tapioca Flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 4 tablespoons Flax Meal (ground flax seeds)

- 4 tablespoons Oil of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Directions
When I went Gluten Free- I assumed Buckwheat Soba Noodles would still be available to me. I soon found out this wasn’t the case- all buckwheat noodles on the Market right now- contain Wheat.
Its time that changed. Maybe you cant buy them at the store.. but now you CAN make them at home! Vegan and Gluten Free pasta dough has the reputation of falling apart. Usually you have to roll it out and cut it by hand. With my pasta recipes this will never be the case.
So in other words- process this dough as you would any other dough- put it through the hand crank pasta machine or roll it out if you don’t have a machine. Its handles beautifully no matter what you do to it!
- In a Large Bowl Combine the Buckwheat Flour, Tapioca Flour, Egg Replacer, Xanthan Gum and Garlic Powder.
- In a Cup Mix the Flax Meal and Hot Water and stir- allow to thicken.
- Kneed into the Flour Mixture the Flax Meal mixture, Oil and Apple Sauce to create dough.
- Process this dough through a hand Crank Pasta Machine- dust additional Buckwheat flour to the dough as needed to prevent sticking.
- Bring a Large Sauce Pan of Water to a Rapid Boil- Add 1 Tbs of Oil plus a dash of salt to the water. Throw in the noodles and cook roughly 15-20 seconds. Once the noodles rise to the top they are just about ready. Strain and rinse in cold water immediately. When these noodles are overcooked they become mushy- the cold water prevents this from happening.
- Serve with your favorite Meal! (I prefer eating them cold in a Soba Noodle Salad!) This pasta is on the more tender site- due to the fact that it does not contain eggs.

I have found buckwheat noodles at Whole Foods that don't have wheat in them, but aren't necessarily certified GF. They are not very good though, so I can't wait to try these.
Really?? THats so great. I have looked high and wide for gluten free soba noodles- they were one of my favorite things before going gluten free!
Have you ever tried using a different gum instead of Xanthan? and you typed the recipe you forgot to write one of the ingredients in between Xanthan gum and oil? What needs to be 2 T?
Hi! I didn’t forget, my site crashed and It did that to a bunch of my recipes a few months ago. I keep finding little errors like this one (Drives me crazy!) So thank you for pointing this error out. I’ll figure out what that ingredient is..
And yes- feel free to use any other gums here.
Step one mentions an egg replacer but that isn’t in the ingredient list. Is that what the 2 Tbls represents?
Yes! Sorry about that- my site crashed a year ago and we keep finding little gliches like this one!
King Soba. excellent 100% buckwheat soba noodle. hard to find though. I couldn’t remember where i found the first package locally, but found more through Amazon.com.
being a crazy DIY man, i plan to attempt making them from scratch, and grinding my own groats to flour. I even plan to make my own quern mill since the only ready made querns i have found are $900 +.
BTW, i will be trying the chia gel tonight. i have been cooking with buckwheat for a while now, and love the flavor, but like everyone else, trying to get that elasticity without gluten IS a challenge. I read somewhere that using freshly milled (less than a week old) helps in the binding, not to mention the nutrients, sooo…
