Serves: 2 - Cooking time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 pack 200g Clearspring Organic Soba or Udon Noodles
• 100ml Clearspring Organic Instant Noodle Broth - Tsuyu
• 400ml filtered water to dilute the Noodle Broth

Toppings:

• 1 tsp Clearspring Wakame Flakes (it will double when rehydrated)
• 1 spring onion - finely chopped
• Small handful micro herbs - Optional

Condiments:

• Clearspring Organic Shichimi Togarashi - Seven Spice Blend
• Clearspring Organic Irigoma - Toasted Whole Sesame Seeds

Method

1. Cook the Soba noodles according to instructions on pack. Once cooked, drain and rinse the noodles under cold running water. This helps to stop the noodles from cooking further and also removes the extra starch. Divide the noodles into two portions and place into deep round bowls.
2. Dilute the Noodle Broth according to instructions on pack with water and adjust strength to your taste.
3. Rehydrate the Wakame in water and leave for 10 minutes. Squeeze and cut into bite-size pieces.
4. Add the Wakame and spring onion to the bowl and pour the hot noodle broth over.
5. Garnish with Clearspring Organic Irigoma - Toasted Sesame Seeds and Clearspring Organic Shichimi Togarashi - Seven Spice Blend to enjoy.
