Step 1
Boil soba noodles in salted water until al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until chilled.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork 2 minutes per side until cooked through and edges brown.
Step 3
Slice pork into bite-size strips while still warm. Set aside.
Step 4
Whisk together mirin, soy sauce, and dashi in a bowl. Chill the broth while noodles cool.
