Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The noodles may absorb more dressing over time, so add a splash of water or extra soy sauce before serving if needed.

Substitutions: You can use udon or rice noodles instead of soba. If sushi seasoning is unavailable, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to taste.

Variations: Add shredded cabbage or cucumber for extra crunch. For a vegan version, omit the eggs and fish, and use tofu instead.

Tips: Toasting the sesame seeds enhances their nutty flavor. Ensure the noodles are well-drained after rinsing to prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
