Portion cooked noodles evenly among 4 bowls, then ladle broth over noodles. Top as desired and serve.

Notes

Soy Sauce: You can substitute coconut aminos if you'd like.
Make it Reduced Sugar: Use granulated Swerve or monk fruit in place of the sugar. The mirin does have a sweetener so the recipe won't be completely sugar-free, but it will help.
