Steps
1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
2
Prepare the toppings: grate the daikon radish, thinly slice the green onion, and toast the nori on both sides until crispy.
3
Add 3 bundles of buckwheat noodles to the boiling water, stirring constantly to prevent clumping. Cook for about 6-7 minutes until tender.
4
Mix the wasabi powder with water to create a wasabi sauce.
5
Divide the soba sauce between two bowls (1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon each), then add 1/2 cup of ice-cold water to each to dilute. Add ice cubes and sliced green onion to each bowl.
6
Drain the cooked noodles and rinse thoroughly with cold water until completely chilled. Add ice cubes to keep them crispy.
7
Place the chilled noodles on a large plate lined with a bamboo mat to allow excess water to drain. Crumble the toasted nori over the noodles and arrange the grated daikon alongside.
8
To eat, add a small amount of wasabi sauce to the dipping sauce, then dip portions of the noodles into the cold sauce. Adjust the wasabi amount to your preference.
