- Japan: Tamarind Tofu with Vegetables and Soba
If you're not familiar with soba noodles, it's a long noodle often found in Japanese cuisine that can take on several different forms. Toshikoshi soba is typically enjoyed on New Year's Eve because its name translates to "year crossing buckwheat noodle," or in other words, the crossing from one year to the next. The tradition goes all the way back to the 17th century. This one-bowl dish incorporates bi-colored soba noodles in addition to tamarind, baked tofu, vegetables, and a garlic sauce.
