I wanted to eat something simple and fresh tasting so I made this. It was surprisingly delicious. It's great added to udon noodles too.

Use either ponzu sauce or mentsuyu sauce, whichever you prefer. Ponzu sauce is more refreshing and mentsuyu sauce has a sweet taste. If you're using a whole leek, put the green part in the boiling water first, then add the white part 5 seconds later. Double the seasoning ingredients if you're using the whole leek. For 1 serving.
