Ingredients

2 tablespoons mirin Japanese rice wine
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 cup vegetable broth
8 ounces soba or other long slender pasta
8 ounces about 8 cups, loosely packed fresh spinach leaves, chopped

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together mirin, soy, rice vinegar and vegetable broth.
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook soba or other noodles, taking them off the heat a minute before package directions indicate.
Place fresh spinach leaves in a strainer in the sink. Pour hot noodles over and toss. Voila, now you don’t have to cook the spinach, the heat from the noodles will have done the trick.
Drain pasta and noodles well and pour into a large bowl. Add mirin and soy sauce mixture and toss lightly to combine.
Add desired Toppings. (see notes)
Give a squeeze of lime to finish — not traditionally Japanese but way refreshing

Notes

Top with any or all
