Ingredients
- 200 grams Soba noodles
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 50 ml Mirin
- 200 ml Dashi stock
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 sheet Nori (seaweed)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi or grated ginger (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook according to the package instructions (usually 5-7 minutes) until tender but not mushy.
Step 2
Drain the noodles and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess starch. Set aside to drain.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, dashi stock, and sugar. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let the dipping sauce cool to room temperature.
Step 4
Thinly slice the green onions and cut the nori sheet into thin strips for garnishing. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over low heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, if desired.
Step 5
Divide the cold soba noodles into serving bowls or plates. Sprinkle the green onions, nori strips, and toasted sesame seeds on top.
Step 6
Serve with the dipping sauce in small individual bowls or cups. Optionally, add a small amount of wasabi or grated ginger to the dipping sauce for extra flavor.
Step 7
To eat, dip the soba noodles into the sauce and enjoy!
