Step 1
Boil the 2 eggs in a small pot of water for 7 minutes, then transfer to ice water. Peel and halve them.
Step 2
In a medium pot, bring the 4 cups vegetable broth and 2 tbsp soy sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the 1 tsp sesame oil and let cool to room temperature.
Step 3
Cook the 8 oz buckwheat noodles in boiling water according to package directions, about 5-6 minutes, until tender but chewy. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
Step 4
Divide the noodles between two bowls. Pour the cooled broth over the noodles.
Step 5
Top each bowl with 1 halved egg, 1/2 sheet of torn seaweed, 1 sliced scallion, and 1/2 tbsp sesame seeds. Serve cold.
Step 6
For extra flavor, add a splash of rice vinegar or a pinch of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) if you have them.
