Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add soba noodles and cook until just tender, stirring occasionally, 4–5 minutes. Don't overcook—they should have a slight bite.
Step 3
Drain noodles and rinse under cold running water until completely chilled, about 1 minute, shaking off excess water.
Step 4
Warm clam broth gently in the same pot over medium heat—you're aiming for warm, not hot, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Divide chilled noodles between two bowls. Top each with a pinch of green onions and a dab of wasabi on the side.
Step 6
Pour warm clam broth into small dipping cups alongside each bowl. Dip noodles into broth before eating.
