Ingredients:

6 ounces dry soba noodles

18 fluid ounces dashi (can be made with instant dashi)

3 fluid ounces mirin

3 fluid ounces low-sodium soy sauce

8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced

Sesame seeds

Shredded nori (optional)

Chopped scallions

Grated fresh ginger or wasabi

Directions:

1. Cook soba noodles in boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes until cooked but still slightly chewy. Drain, rinse with cold water to chill, drain again, and set aside.

2. Combine dashi, mirin, and soy sauce in a saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Add chicken and lower heat to a simmer. Poach chicken for 3 to 4 minutes or until just cooked through (be sure not to overcook it), skimming any foam from broth while cooking. Remove chicken and set aside with noodles. Skim broth again and divide into two bowls.

3. Split soba noodles and chicken between two plates and sprinkle with sesame seeds and shredded nori, if using. Serve broth with scallions and ginger so diners can add as much as they desire. To eat, dip noodles and chicken into broth and slurp.
