Ingredients
- 200 grams Soba noodles

- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 100 grams Shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 pieces Soft-boiled eggs (optional)
- 1 piece Nori sheets, cut into strips (optional)

Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook according to the package instructions (typically 4-6 minutes). Drain the noodles, rinse with cold water to stop cooking, and set aside.
In a separate pot, prepare the dashi stock by heating 4 cups of water and dissolving dashi powder if not using homemade stock.
Stir in the soy sauce, mirin, and salt to the dashi stock and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the broth and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender.
Divide the cooked soba noodles evenly into serving bowls.
Pour the hot broth and mushrooms over the noodles in each bowl.
Top with baby spinach (it will wilt slightly in the hot broth) and sprinkle with green onions.
Optionally, garnish with soft-boiled eggs, nori strips, and sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, comforting soba noodle soup!
