Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 cups water
1 tablespoon instant dashi stock
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 lb dried soba noodles (buckwheat noodles)
2 carrots, sliced thin
1/2 lb spinach, coarse stems discarded and the leaves washed well, dryed, and cut crosswise into 1 1/2 inch-wide str
8 -10 ounces firm tofu, cut into 1/2 inch cubes (preferably silken)
3 -4 tablespoons miso, to taste (fermented bean paste)
2 scallions, minced

Steps:

  • Make the broth: In a saucepan bring the water to a boil.
  • Stir in the dashi and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the soy sauce and the sugar and simmer the broth for 5 minutes.
  • Strain the broth through a fine sieve into a heatproof bowl and pour it back into the pan.
  • In a kettle of salted boiling water cook the noodles for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are al dente, being careful not to overcook them, drain them in a colander, and rinse them under cold water.
  • Add the carrots to the broth and simmer them, covered, for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the spinach and the tofu and simmer the soup for 1 minute.
  • In a small bowl stir together well 1/2 cup of the soup broth and the miso and pour the mixture back into the pan.
  • Divide the noodles among 6 large bowls, ladle the soup over them, and sprinkle each serving with some of the scallions.
  • I sometimes sprinkle toasted nori over the soup.
  • Enjoy!
