Step 1
Julienne the cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper into thin matchsticks. Slice green onion diagonally. Toast and crumble the nori seaweed.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together dashi, soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, and wasabi until well combined. Refrigerate the dressing.
Step 3
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add soba noodles and cook according to package directions, usually 4–5 minutes.
Step 4
Drain noodles in a colander and rinse under cold running water until completely cooled. Shake well to remove excess water.
Step 5
Divide cooled soba noodles between two bowls. Arrange cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, and green onion on top.

Pour half the dressing into each bowl and toss gently to combine. Top with crumbled nori and serve immediately.
