Method

Prep the toppings

Trim and thinly slice the Scallion. Cut the Kamaboko into thin slices if needed, and use scissors or a knife to cut the Nori into narrow strips. Set everything aside on a small plate so the bowls are easy to finish quickly.

Simmer the broth

In a medium pot, combine the Dashi Stock, Soy Sauce, Mirin, Sugar, and Salt. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring just until the sugar dissolves, then let it bubble softly for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a separate large pot of water to a boil for the noodles.

Boil the noodles

Add the Dried Soba Noodles to the boiling water and stir right away so they do not clump. Cook for 4 minutes, or until they are just tender with a little bite left.

Drain the noodles

Drain the noodles in a colander and shake off as much water as possible. Work quickly so they stay hot for serving and do not water down the broth.

Assemble bowls

Divide the noodles between 2 warm bowls and ladle the hot broth over them. Finish each bowl with the scallion, kamaboko, and nori, then serve right away while everything is steaming.
