Ingredients

200g dried soba noodles
2 cups dashi stock (or 2 cups water + 1 tsp dashi powder)
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp mirin
1 tsp sugar
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 sheet nori, torn into small pieces
shichimi togarashi (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook soba noodles according to package directions until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch. Drain well and divide between two bowls.
In a medium saucepan, combine dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes.
Pour the hot broth over the noodles in each bowl.
Top with sliced green onions and torn nori. Serve immediately with shichimi togarashi on the side if desired.

Tips

For a more flavorful broth, use homemade dashi made from kombu and bonito flakes.
Add a soft-boiled egg or tempura for a heartier meal.
Leftover broth can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
