Steps:
- Combine 4 cups water, dashi, soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar in bowl. Whisk until dashi and sugar dissolve; set aside.
- Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large saucepan. Add soba noodles, and cook until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain noodles in colander, rinse with cold water until cool, and drain again.
- Combine wasabi powder and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl, and stir. Let stand about 6 minutes, until it becomes a thick paste. Using your finger, form 4 small balls.
- To serve, divide noodles among 4 bowls, and ladle broth over them. Arrange wasabi balls, scallion greens, nori and dried bonito flakes (if using) on top of noodles. Using chopsticks, dissolve wasabi balls into broth; do not eat whole. Serve at once.

EGG NOODLES WITH SOY BROTH
This is a tasty, fast, cheap, infinitely variable broth-and-noodle combination. Its preparation is slowed down only by waiting for the water to boil. A key ingredient is ketchup; if you can't bear that thought, you can use tomato paste instead. There's also Sriracha, soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil, all of which add character. The noodles I use are fresh egg pasta, but just about any kind of noodle can be used. Once you've made this once, you'll probably want to take it to a showier place. Cook thinly sliced shallot, ginger or garlic in a little peanut oil before adding the water for the "broth," or add sliced celery, bean sprouts, snow peas or sliced carrots to it. Switch to rice noodles, soba, ordinary dried pasta or mung bean threads if you like.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. In a smaller pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil; once boiling, reduce heat so water bubbles gently.
- To the smaller pot add soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, sesame oil if using and Sriracha or chile, along with a pinch of salt. Stir and let simmer.
- Add egg noodles to large pot; fresh noodles will be ready in just a couple of minutes; dried will take longer. When tender but not mushy, drain. Taste broth and add more soy, salt, vinegar or heat as you like. Divide noodles into bowls and pour hot broth over all.
