Directions
In large pot, bring at least 3 qts water to a boil.
Slowly add soba.
When water returns to a boil, add ½ cup cold water.
Repeat steps of returning water to a boil and adding cold water 2 or 3 times, until the noodles are just tender (it will take 5 to 7 minutes total.)
Drain and rinse well, working your fingers through the strands to separate them.
Set aside. Combine chicken broth and ginger in the large pot and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, add mushrooms and simmer for 8 minutes.
Add sake or mirin, tamari or soy sauce and rice-wine vinegar.
In a small bowl, whisk a ladleful of the broth with miso to dissolve it; return the mixture to the pot, along with gan lan or spinach.
Simmer for 2 minutes more and remove from the heat.
Divide the noodles among soup bowls and ladle the soup over the top.
Garnish with cilantro and daikon or bean sprouts.
