Cold Soba Noodles with Dipping Sauce (~New York Times)

 

Ingredients

 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

PREPARATION

Directions

1.     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.

2.     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).
