   While the broth is heating, cut the broccoli (400 g) into small florets and thinly slice the stems.

4. 4

   Add the broccoli florets and stems to the simmering broth and cook for 4-5 minutes, until just tender but still bright green.

5. 5

   In a separate pot, cook the soba noodles (200 g) according to the package instructions (usually 4-5 minutes in boiling water). Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking.

6. 6

   In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste (3 tbsp) with a ladleful of hot broth until smooth. Stir the miso mixture and soy sauce (1 tbsp) back into the soup pot. Do not let the soup boil after adding miso, to preserve its flavor and nutrients.

7. 7

   Divide the cooked soba noodles among serving bowls.

8. 8

   Ladle the hot miso-broccoli soup over the noodles.

9. 9

   Thinly slice the green onions (2 pieces) and sprinkle them over the soup along with the sesame seeds (1 tbsp).
