Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare scallion: Finely chop the scallion.
- Prepare Aburaage: Remove excess oil from the aburaage with a paper towel and cut it into quarters.
- Simmer Aburaage: In a saucepan, bring the seasonings (soy sauce, mirin, and sugar) to a boil. Add the aburaage and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes or until it absorbs the flavors.
- Make the Udon Soup: In a large pot, add water, dashi powder, mirin, soy sauce, and salt and boil over medium heat.
- Boil the Udon Noodles: While making the soup, add the udon noodles to a separate pot of boiling water and cook them for about two minutes.
- Drain the noodles: Drain using a strainer and quickly rinse under cold water to remove the extra starch.
- Serve: Serve the drained noodles in a bowl, pour the soup, and place the aburaage, and scallions on top. You can top it with shichimi togarashi, a Japanese spice, for an extra kick.
Notes
- Adjusting Soup Seasoning: If your udon soup is too salty, you can balance it by diluting it with water. Conversely, if it's too mild, add more salt to enhance the flavor.
- Udon noodles typically take a couple of minutes to cook frozen noodles and around 10 minutes or more for fresh or dried noodles. The cooking time can vary depending on the type and brand of udon noodles, so please follow the package directions.
