"Slurp Station Aburasoba, in the University District, is one of the few restaurants in the Seattle area dedicated to serving the “dry noodle” version of ramen known as aburasoba. “Abura” means oil, so under the noodles and toppings, there’s some sauce, which traditionally consists of lard and a shoyu (soy sauce) base. The shoyu bowl at Slurp Station is delicious, but the salt-based (with a little pork bone broth added) version is even better. With either, add desired amounts of vinegar and chili oil, then mix quickly while the noodles are warm to incorporate the flavors. A side of hiyayakko tofu refreshingly completes the meal." - Jay Friedman
