How to Make Soba Noodle Soup

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add soba noodles and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
  2. While the noodles cook, prepare the broth: In a medium saucepan, combine dashi stock (or broth), soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and dashi granules (if using). Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. Add shrimp to the simmering broth and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until pink and cooked through. Do not overcook.
  4. Divide the cooked soba noodles between two bowls.
  5. Ladle the shrimp and broth over the noodles.
  6. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions and serve immediately. Enjoy!
