Ingredients

7 oz dried soba noodles

Dipping sauce

7 fl oz dashi
1 ½ fl oz soy sauce
1 ½ fl oz mirin

To serve

3 scallions, sliced
1 tbsp wasabi
1 sheet nori, cut into strips

Steps

Warm the dashi, soy sauce, and mirin together, then cool completely.
Boil the soba to package time, then rinse under cold water, rubbing off the starch.
Drain very well and pile onto plates.
Serve with the cold sauce, scallions, wasabi, and nori for dipping.

Rinsing is mandatory — unrinsed soba turns gluey.
