This recipe is inspired by Hawaii-style saimin, a dashi-based noodle soup with a clear broth. Here, soba are swapped for the wheat and egg saimin noodles that give the soup its name.
For the broth: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the scallions until grill marks appear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
Add the kombu, scallions, ginger, shiitake mushrooms, bonito, dried shrimp, ham hocks and chicken feet in the base of a large stovetop pressure cooker. Cover with 3 quarts water and add some salt. Lock on the lid, then place over high heat and bring to pressure. Pressure cook for 1 hour. Release the pressure carefully and open. Strain the broth and keep warm until ready to serve.
Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions, then shock in an ice bath.
For the toppings: Add to each serving bowl: soba noodles, 1 cup dashi broth, cabbage, pickled ginger, scallions, bean sprouts, watermelon radish, nori, chile oil and egg half. Serve.
