  1. Bring the dashi to a simmer with the soy sauce, mirin and sugar. Add the inari pouches or tofu slices and warm them gently in a little of the broth for 3 minutes, so they soak up the seasoning.

  3. Divide the noodles among four warm bowls and pour over the hot broth.
  4. Lay a sweet tofu pouch over each bowl like a blanket, scatter with the spring onions, add the garnish, and serve at once.
