Udon noodles are a delight for all taste buds. Hailing from Japan, these noodles are known for their satisfyingly chewy texture. In this recipe, we combine udon noodles with a savory shiitake-ginger broth, resulting in a comforting and flavorful dish that will warm you from the inside out.

The broth is infused with the earthy notes of shiitake mushrooms and the zesty kick of ginger, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. The addition of sesame oil adds a subtle richness, while the tamari or soy sauce provides a salty depth. Topped with fresh parsley, this dish is not only delicious but also visually appealing.

Step-by-step

    • Cook the udon in a pot of boiling water until just tender, 6-8 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add the sesame oil and toss to coat. Set aside.
    • Place the stock, shiitakes, ginger, scallions, and tamari in a large pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the shiitakes soften, about 5 minutes.
    • In a small bowl, blend the miso with 1/4 cup of the hot broth. Stir into the soup and add the noodles. Serve immediately, garnished with the parsley.
