Method

- Let cool, then thinly slice the mushrooms.
- In a small bowl, stir the sugar into the soy sauce and mirin until dissolved.
- In a large saucepan of boiling water, cook the soba noodles, stirring once or twice, until just tender, about 8 minutes.
- Drain the noodles, rinse under cold water and drain again thoroughly.
- Add the boiling water and instant dashi to the saucepan.
- Add the tofu and shiitake and simmer just until heated through, about 2 minutes.
