Instructions
Make the Dipping Sauce
Combine soy sauce mirin cold water and sesame oil in a small bowl or cup and stir well. Refrigerate the sauce while you cook the noodles so it stays cool and refreshing.
Cook the Soba Noodles
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the soba noodles according to package directions usually 4 to 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from clumping together.
Rinse and Chill
Drain the cooked noodles immediately into a colander then rinse thoroughly under cold running water while rubbing the noodles gently to remove excess starch and keep them from sticking.
Serve and Enjoy
Divide the cold soba noodles into bowls or onto plates and garnish with sliced green onions. Pour the dipping sauce into small cups on the side for kids to dip and enjoy.
