3 c -cold water
1 1/2 c Dashi

3 tb Mirin
1 tb Sugar
1 Piece toasted nori
2 Green onions
4 ts Wasabi powder

1. Heat 2 quarts water to boiling in large kettle
over high heat. Add noodles; a few at a time, stirring
gently to parate. When water returns to full rolling
boil, add 1 cup cold water; repeat twice, using
remaining cold water. When water returns to full
boiling, check for doneness; cook nooles until
firm-tender (do not overcook)*. Drain in colander;
rinse well and cool under cold running water. Drain;
cover with damp kitchen towl. Cool completely.
2. Heat dashi, soy sauce, mirin and sugar to boiling
in 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat; stir to
dissolve sugar. Cool dipping sauce completely.
(Refrigerate, covered, if desired).
3. Using scissors, cut nori crosswise into quarters;
cut quarters crosswise into 1/8-inch wide strips.
4. Cut green onions crosswise into 1/8-inch thick
slices. Mix wasabi with just enough warm water to make
thick paste; cover and let stand 10 minutes.
5. Place noodles in 4 medium serving bowls or
plates, dividing evenly; top each with 1/4 of the
nori. (Traditionally, these noodles are served in
bamboo baskets or boxes.) Place 1/2 cup dipping sauce
in each of 4 small serving bowls. Dip noodles in
sauce that is mixed with coice of green onion and/or
wasabi.
*Cooking time depends upon thickness and content of
noodles; follow individual package directions for
propert cooking time. (If desired, omit cold water and
cook nooles at full rolling boil until firm-tender,
about 5 minutes.)
