Against the usual Abura soba

It has 2 of the 7 parts of the usual Abura soba and mazesoba: soy sauce (shoyu) and scallion or negi. Not on it: chashu, menma (bamboo shoots), raw egg or yolk, vinegar and chili oil (rayu).

Less usual for the style: pork bone (tonkotsu) (in 7% of Abura soba recipes), instant noodle seasoning packet (in 15% of Abura soba recipes) and mirin (in 15% of Abura soba recipes).

Ramen without soup: noodles tossed in a soy-based tare and aroma oil, usually with chashu, menma and scallion, often a raw egg yolk, and vinegar and chili oil added at the table. Mazesoba is the same idea with more toppings mixed in.
