Instructions
Procedure:
- Mix all of the dipping sauce ingredients together, and boil for three minutes then let it cool by adding ice into it
- In a large pot of water, boil the soba noodles for 3 minutes or longer. I like my noodles chewy, so I boil them for 3 minutes. Drain the noodles, wash in cold water until the noodles are cold, and drain again.
- Garnish noodles and sauce, and eat cold.

Notes
You can always prepare the sauce and store it for about a week and a half in the fridge.
