I used to think I had to eat them at a restaurant, but now, the store-bought dipping sauce is often tastier than homemade ones, making it so convenient to just prepare them at home!

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Bring a generous amount of water to a boil in a large pot for cooking the soba noodles. While the water is heating, prepare the other ingredients.
Step 2
Wash and peel the daikon radish, then grate it finely using a grater. Set aside the grated radish. It’s even better if you lightly drain the excess water from the grated radish using a sieve.
Step 3
Wash the scallions thoroughly, pat them dry, and finely chop them. Finely minced scallions will add a nice aroma.
Step 4
Gently rinse the sprouts under running water and drain them. Prepare the shredded seaweed and have the wasabi ready to be served according to your preference.
Step 5
Once the water is boiling vigorously, add the soba noodles and cook them according to the package instructions. Immediately rinse the cooked noodles under cold running water to make them firm and chewy. Drain them thoroughly in a colander.
Step 6
Arrange the prepared soba noodles neatly on a soba platter or a large serving plate.
Step 7
Serve the dish with the tsuyu dipping sauce, grated daikon radish, chopped scallions, sprouts, shredded seaweed, and wasabi. Adjust the seasoning to your taste and enjoy!
