Description

This easy Udon Noodle Soup with vegetables is ready in just 30 minutes for a quick and easy meal!


Ingredients

Units
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 scallions, cut in half
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 3 slices of ginger (slice about 2cm thick pieces)
  • 1 lire vegetable broth
  • 1-2 tbsp tamari
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp mirin (can sub sake, rice wine vinegar or sherry)
  • 500 grams of udon noodles
  • 2 cups baby bok choy
  • 1 pack of soft tofu (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the avocado oil in a large pot on medium heat, then add the scallions, garlic and ginger and saute for 2 minutes.
  2. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a light boil, then cover and let simmer for 20 minutes. This will infuse the soup with flavour.
  3. Remove the lid from the soup and bring it back up to a light boil. Add the tamari, mirin, sesame oil udon noodles and bok choy and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the noodles are tender.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed and serve. 
  5. If adding soft tofu, add the tofu directly to your bowl.

Notes

Use fresh, packaged, or frozen udon noodles depending on what you have.
Fresh udon cooks in 2 to 3 minutes, while packaged udon only needs a minute to loosen.
Thaw frozen udon before using so the noodles separate easily.
Use a good quality broth since the soup is lightly seasoned.
Add the noodles at the end so they stay chewy and not overcooked.
