  • To make teriyaki sauce, combine soy, sake, mirin, sugar and oil in a small pot and heat, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Set aside.
  • Heat water in a second pot, and add dashi powder, soy and mirin. Peel ginger, cut into cubes and crush in a garlic press until you have 1 tbsp of ginger juice. Add juice to the broth and adjust flavourings to taste.
  • Fill a large pot three-quarters full with cold water and bring to a high boil. Add the noodles, separating them as they go in. Allow the water to return to the boil, then add a cup of cold water. Allow to return to the boil, then add a second cup of cold water. When the water boils once more, remove from the heat, drain the noodles, rinse under cold water, and drain again.
  • Brush salmon with teriyaki sauce and grill quickly, on an oiled grill, leaving the inside lightly pink.
  • Bring broth to just below the boil. Add noodles for 30 seconds to heat through, then divide noodles between 4 warmed bowls.
  • Dip spinach leaves briefly into the broth to wilt them, and divide among bowls. Ladle hot broth into each bowl, and top noodles with grilled salmon.
  • Scatter green onions on top and serve with chopsticks and spoons.
