Ingredients

5 oz Soba Noodles 2 bundles
1/2 lbs Chicken Thigh boneless and skinless
2 1/2 Cup Dashi
2 tbsp Sake
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Sweetener
1/2 tsp Salt
4 Pieces Shiitake Mushroom fresh
1 oz Japanese Fish Cake kamaboko
1 tbsp Bonito Flakes katsuobshi, topping
1 Stalk Green Onions sliced
1/8 tsp Togarashi optional, ground red pepper

Instructions

Gather all the ingredients.
Prepare the ingredients by cleaning and trimming the shiitake mushrooms, slicing the kamaboko, cubing the chicken thigh, and slicing the green onions.
In a medium-sized pot, combine dashi, Japanese sake, soy sauce, sweetener, and salt, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the shiitake mushrooms and cubed chicken, cover, and cook on low for 10 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the soba by boiling it in water for 5-10 minutes per packaging instructions. Once cooked, remove the noodles and place them in a serving bowl. Note - if desired, add 2-4 tbsp of the soba broth to the main chicken broth. This gives the soup additional depth.
Combine the hot soup with the noodles, then place the sliced kamaboko on top along with the sliced green onions and a pinch of katsuboshi bonito flakes. Serve with optional togarashi red pepper.
