Instructions

1. Make the dipping sauce: put soy sauce, sake and mirin in a pot over medium heat. Add the katsuobushi and bring to a boil for one minute, then take off the heat and let it cool in the pot.
2. Strain out the katsuobushi and mix the sauce with cold water. If using mentsuyu instead, simply mix it with water. Set aside.
3. Boil the soba in a large pot of boiling water, stirring, and cook for 3-4 minutes or as the package says.
4. Drain (keeping the cooking water if you like), rinse the soba briefly under running water, then chill in ice water for a couple of minutes.
5. Drain again.
6. Place the soba on plates, top with shredded nori, and serve with the dipping sauce, sliced green onion and wasabi.
