Ingredients
For dipping sauce
- 1 cup dashi stock
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoons sake
- 1 ½ teaspoons evaporated cane sugar
For serving
- 2 ervings soba noodles
- 1 teaspoon wasabi
- 1 scallion (finely chopped)
- 50 grams daikon (grated and drained)
- ½ heet nori (cut into thin strips with scissors)
Instructions
- To make the dipping sauce, add the dashi, soy sauce, sake and sugar to a saucepan, and bring the mixture to a boil. Continue boiling for 1 minute to vaporize the alcohol in the sake and soy sauce. Set this aside to cool.
- To boil the soba noodles, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the soba noodles and stir for about a minute to ensure the noodles don't stick together. Continue boiling the noodles for the amount of time specified on the package.
- Transfer the noodles to a strainer using chopsticks or tongs (leaving the boiling liquid in the pot).
- Wash the soba under cold running water to cool it to room temperature while removing any excess starch on the noodles' surface.
- Transfer the soba to a bowl of ice water and let the noodles chill for a moment.
- Serve the noodles by scooping small amounts of soba out of the ice water and bundling them up into small mounds on a zaru or large flat basket.
- Serve immediately with the dipping sauce and condiments.
- Once you've finished eating the cold soba, reheat the boiling liquid and serve it in a teapot to add to the remaining dipping sauce to make a broth.
