- Try soba noodles with other assorted toppings, such as bean sprouts, diced tomatoes, sliced radishes, edamame and chopped chili peppers.
- XO sauce, the iconic condiment, was first created in Hong Kong. Meant to impress, it is known to be a luxury blend typically made with dried shrimp and scallops, Chinese dry-cured ham, garlic and various chillies. The ingredients, combined in a base of oil, create an intense sweet, salty, rich umami flavour.
