Method
Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
👋 The eggs are best made a day or two in advance. Bring a large pan of water to the boil and season well with salt. Add the eggs and cook for 7 mins. Remove using a slotted spoon and lower into ice water to cool.
Step 2
Mix the 150 ml soy sauce, mirin, 150ml water, 1 sliced spring onion, 20g of the ginger, chilli flakes and sesame seeds in a deep container. Peel the eggs and lower them into the soy sauce mix. Put the lid on the container, then chill for at least 3 hrs. Will keep chilled for up to two days. (to serve 2)
Step 3
Mix the miso, 2 tbsp soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, honey and coriander in a medium bowl. Boil the soba noodles following pack instructions and rinse well with cold water to keep them from sticking. Reserve some of the noodle cooking water.
Step 4
Put the vegetable oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Scatter in the garlic and remaining ginger and cook for a few minutes until fragrant. Add the spring greens, stirring well until wilted, then mix through the cooked soba and sauce from the bowl, adding a little noodle cooking water to loosen. Mix until silky and coated.
Step 5
Split the noodles between two bowls, then slice the eggs and put on top of the noodles. Spoon over 1 tbsp of the egg marinade. Sprinkle with a few sesame seeds and serve.
