Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Japanese
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 4 cups dashi broth
  2. 3 tablespoons miso paste
  3. 200g udon noodles
  4. 1 cup tofu, cubed
  5. 1 cup green onions, chopped
  6. 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  7. 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping green onions, slicing mushrooms, and cutting tofu into small cubes.
  2. In a large pot, heat the dashi broth over medium-high heat until it begins to simmer gently. Avoid boiling to preserve the delicate flavor of the broth.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms to the simmering broth and cook for 3-4 minutes until they become tender and release their flavor.
  4. Gently add the udon noodles to the broth and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Follow package instructions for precise cooking time.
  5. Reduce heat to low and carefully stir in the cubed tofu, allowing it to warm through without breaking apart.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk the miso paste with a small amount of warm broth to create a smooth mixture, preventing lumps from forming.
  7. Remove the pot from direct heat and slowly incorporate the miso mixture into the soup, stirring gently to distribute evenly.
  8. Add soy sauce and stir to enhance the umami flavor of the soup.
  9. Garnish with freshly chopped green onions just before serving.
  10. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately while maintaining optimal temperature and flavor.

Tips

  1. Prep Ahead: To save time, prepare your ingredients in advance. Wash and chop the green onions, slice the mushrooms, and cube the tofu before you start cooking.
  2. Gentle Simmer: Always heat the dashi broth gently. A simmer is ideal; boiling can overpower the delicate flavors of the broth.
  3. Perfect Udon: Follow the package instructions for the udon noodles to achieve the perfect texture. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.
  4. Miso Magic: To avoid lumps, whisk the miso paste with a small amount of warm broth before adding it to the soup. This ensures a smooth and creamy consistency.
  5. Taste as You Go: Adjust the flavor to your liking! Feel free to add more soy sauce or miso paste to enhance the soup's umami profile.
  6. Garnish Generously: Don’t skimp on the green onions! They add a fresh crunch and vibrant color to your soup, making it visually appealing and delicious.
  7. Serve Hot: Enjoy the soup immediately for the best flavor and warmth. Ladle it into bowls and watch your guests' faces light up with delight!
