Instructions

Step 1: Bring 8 cups of water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add 8 oz soba noodles and cook for 8 minutes until al dente, stirring once to prevent clumping, then drain immediately under cold running water for 1 minute to halt cooking.
Step 2: While noodles drain, whisk together 2 cups dashi stock, 1 tsp matcha powder, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, and 1 tsp sesame oil in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low until simmering (do not boil), then reduce heat to low and keep warm.
Step 3: Divide drained noodles among 4 bowls. Pour warm matcha dashi broth over noodles until fully submerged. Garnish each serving with 3 thinly sliced scallions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, ensuring the matcha swirls visibly in the broth.
