Ingredients
Dressing:
- 1/4 cup Dashi or defatted chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
Salad:
- 7 ounces dried soba noodles
- 1/2 or so cup finely julienned daikon or breakfast radishes
- 1 cup daikon radish sprouts, loosely packed
- 1 small onion, cut in half, thinly sliced, rinsed, and drained
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- Japanese seven-spice powder, to taste (optional)
Directions
Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Bring 2 quarts of lightly salted water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Separate the noodles and drop them into the boiling water, stirring once or twice. When the water begins to boil, add 1 cup of cold water. Repeat this procedure twice cooking until the noodles are just tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain in a colander. Rinse with cold water until completely cooled, rubbing gently with hands to remove all surface starch and drain well.
Toss the noodles with the dressing and arrange the daikon, sprouts, onion, green onions, sesame seeds, and a dash of seven-spice powder over the top.

I tried it out despite no ratings and my husband and I loved it. I modified the recipe a bit: I used a dash of dashi-flavoring (in powder form as it's pretty intense stuff and think that 1/4 cup of dashi would be crazy salt. I also skipped the daikon radish sprouts cuz I didn't know what that was. Anyway, it was all pretty tasty. A great summer no-cooking, low fat meal. My husband steamed alaskan king crab legs to go with it.
