Main Ingredients
- 8 oz soba noodles buckwheat-based
- 2 cups dashi stock or low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms thinly sliced
- 1 cup bok choy chopped

Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the dashi stock, soy sauce, and mirin. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- In a separate frying pan, heat sesame oil. Add the white parts of the green onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Notes
Do not overcook the soba noodles—rinse well to prevent clumping. You can substitute mushrooms or leafy greens based on seasonal availability.
