Steps:
- To make the dipping sauce, add the dashi, soy sauce, sake and sugar to a saucepan, and bring the mixture to a boil. Continue boiling for 1 minute to vaporize the alcohol in the sake and soy sauce. Set this aside to cool.
- To boil the soba noodles, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the soba noodles and stir for about a minute to ensure the noodles don't stick together. Continue boiling the noodles for the amount of time specified on the package.
- Transfer the noodles to a strainer using chopsticks or tongs (leaving the boiling liquid in the pot).
- Wash the soba under cold running water to cool it to room temperature while removing any excess starch on the noodles' surface.
- Transfer the soba to a bowl of ice water and let the noodles chill for a moment.
- Serve the noodles by scooping small amounts of soba out of the ice water and bundling them up into small mounds on a zaru or large flat basket.
- Serve immediately with the dipping sauce and condiments.
- Once you've finished eating the cold soba, reheat the boiling liquid and serve it in a teapot to add to the remaining dipping sauce to make a broth.

COLD SOBA NOODLES WITH DIPPING SAUCE
In Japan, where it gets plenty hot in the summer, cold soba noodles, served with a dipping sauce, are a common snack or light meal. Soba are brown noodles, made from wheat and buckwheat, and the sauce is based on dashi, the omnipresent Japanese stock. You would recognize the smell of dashi in an instant, even if you have never knowingly eaten it. It's a brilliant concoction based on kelp, a seaweed and dried bonito flakes. It is also among the fastest and easiest stocks you can make, and its two main ingredients - which you can buy in any store specializing in Asian foods - keep indefinitely in your pantry. I would encourage you to try making it, though you can also use chicken stock (or instant dashi, which is sold in the same stores).

Steps:
- 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).

SOBA NOODLE COLD ROLLS WITH SPICY SESAME SAUCE
Steps:
- For the rolls: Cook the soba noodles according to the package directions in salted water until al dente. Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water.
- Fill a large wide bowl with very warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water and allow it to soften for a few seconds. Then carefully remove it from the water.
- Top the wrapper with a piece of lettuce, a small handful of the soba, a few pieces of tofu, peach or mango, cucumber, carrot, bean sprouts and a few mint and cilantro leaves.
- Fold in the edges of the wrapper and roll up like a burrito, pressing edge to seal. Set aside into a reusable container lined with a damp paper towel. Continue with the remaining wrappers and ingredients.
- For the dipping sauce: Whisk together the lime juice, sriracha, soy sauce, honey, ginger, sesame seeds and sesame oil.
- Store the rolls and sauce in resealable containers in the fridge until ready to serve, or portion out for lunch. Cut the rolls in half just before serving with the dipping sauce.
