Bring water to a boil and cook the soba noodles according to package instructions, making sure they stay firm and don’t overcook.
Meanwhile, finely chop the garlic and ginger.
Heat a pan over medium heat, add 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, then sauté the garlic and ginger for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and fragrant.
Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional if you prefer less heat).
Add another tablespoon of soy sauce and a pinch of salt to the pan.
Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss well to coat them evenly with the sauce.
If desired, fry an egg to use as a topping.
Chop the spring onions.
Serve the noodles in a bowl, garnish with chopped spring onions, the fried egg, more spring onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Enjoy immediately—this dish comes together in under 15 minutes.
