Alright, we have the ichiban dashi and the other ingredients combined and set to boil, am working on frying the tofu and will do the soba noodles next, followed by the spinach. So far, we're good.
I'm also starting to see the advantages of the cooking aprons they have over there that cover your arms with the fried tofu. I've taken one of my shirts and put it on backwards to mimic the effect and avoid hot oil ouches on bare arms.
I also wish that Americans had premade fried tofu over here, rather than having to do it myself. They do finally have bonito flakes, but they've yet to completely catch up.
