Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package dried soba noodles
1 cup prepared dashi stock
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin
¼ teaspoon white sugar
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
½ cup chopped green onions
1 sheet nori (dried seaweed), cut into thin strips (Optional)

Directions

Bring a lightly salted pot of water to a boil. Add soba noodles; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water to speed up cooling process.
Combine dashi, soy sauce, mirin, and white sugar in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature, about 25 minutes.
Toss noodles with sesame seeds and divide among 4 serving bowls. Spoon dashi sauce over noodles. Top with green onions and nori.

Cook's Notes:

If using dried dashi granules, reconstitute it according to the package or to taste.

Substitute 2 tablespoons sake (Japanese rice wine) and 2 1/2 teaspoons sugar for the mirin if desired.

The sauce can be prepared ahead and refrigerated until serving if desired.
