Salt
1 cup dashi or chicken stock
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin or 1 tablespoon honey mixed with 1 tablespoon water
8 ounces soba noodles
Finely grated or minced ginger,
Minced scallions or toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Cook noodles until tender but not mushy. Drain, and quickly rinse under cold running water until cold. Drain well.
Combine dashi or stock, soy sauce and mirin. Taste, and add a little more soy if the flavor is not strong enough. Serve noodles with garnishes, with sauce on side for dipping (or spooning over).
