Directions

1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat, add noodles and cook until tender but firm, about 3 minutes. Drain noodles and divide evenly between 4 large, deep soup bowls. While noodles cook, heat dashi over medium heat until simmering but not boiling, (stir in beaten eggs- optional). Evenly divide spinach between the bowls of noodles, then ladle about 1 cup dashi into each bowl. Garnish soup with slices of fish cake and pork. Scatter scallions on top and season with shoyu. Serve with soy sauce.
