  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together dashi, soy sauce, and mirin until the sugar dissolves. Stir in wasabi until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Divide chilled noodles between two bowls. Pour dipping sauce into small accompanying bowls. Top noodles with scallions.

  4. Step 4

    Serve immediately. Dip each mouthful of noodles into the sauce before eating.
