Ingredients
- 200 grams Udon noodles
- 4 cups Water
- 2 teaspoons Dashi granules
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Mirin
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 4 slices Kamaboko (fish cake), optional
- 1 sheet Nori (seaweed), optional
Directions
Step 1
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot and dissolve the dashi granules to create the soup base.
Step 2
Add soy sauce, mirin, and sugar to the dashi broth, stirring gently to combine. Lower the heat to a simmer.
Step 3
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the udon noodles according to package instructions (usually 5-7 minutes). Once cooked, drain and set aside.
Step 4
Carefully crack an egg into a small bowl to ensure the yolk stays intact. Gently slide the egg into the simmering broth. Repeat with the second egg, placing it on the opposite side of the pot. Poach for 2-3 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
Step 5
Divide the cooked udon noodles into two serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles, ensuring an egg is in each bowl.
Step 6
Thinly slice the green onions and scatter them over the top of each bowl as garnish. Add kamaboko slices and shredded nori, if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your comforting Tsukimi Udon!
