Question

Can you prepare Soba noodles in the microwave?

Answer 1

I guess you could...  Put some water into a bowl and boil it in the microwave, then add your noodles and microwave for a few minutes more until the noodles are done.

Be sure to stir them ever minute or so.

Answer 2

Yes, but I wouldn't.

Answer 3

Yes you can.  There are even some noodles that you don't have to boil directly.  Look for rice or bean thread.  With those, you just put the dry noodles in a bowl, pour boiling water over them and then in about 2 minutes you drain them and they're done.

You can also get packages of plain ramen noodles in the asian markets which are prepared the same way.  Then you can just add your own ingredients to flavor them.
