I want to make an authentic soba noodle using a proper dashi stock with bonito (katsuobushi) and kombu seaweed, but here in the UK, there is no katsuobushi as it is not allowed to be imported from Japan. And bonito flakes are very expensive, so I thought I'd try using mentsuyu (noodle broth).

This is a side dish that can be made in 5 minutes. Its fresh crunchiness and umami of the salty seaweed will stimulate your appetite! It's less than 25kcal for 100g (one person's serving), so it's ideal for those who are dieting.
Leave your soup for 5 minutes to get a greater flavour of the sea.
