    You can be as creative as you like with this dish.

    One main, and most important thing is the broth! Personally I like a very umami rich broth for this soup. You can check out the basic vegetable broth recipe here. For the noodle soup I normally add a good handful of dried mushrooms, and some miso paste. Then I let the ginger, lemongrass and chilli infuse in the strained stock for a few hours.

    For the vegetables you can use; bok choi, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, green beans or any other you prefer. You can top your udon noodle soup with various herbs, micro greens, spring onions (scallions) or toasted nuts or seeds. The possibilities are endless.

    Calories: 340.2kcal

    Ingredients

    • 200 g Udon noodles
    • 1200 ml home-made vegetable stock
    • 2 cm fresh ginger cut in 4 pieces
    • 1 lemongrass stalk the lower thicker part chopped, the upper stalk just bruised for infusion
    • 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
    • 50 ml tamari or soy sauce
    • 1 fresh red chilli pinched with some little holes for infusion.
    • 180 g mushrooms can be a mixture of mushroom, roughly chopped
    • 2 spring onions diagonal chopped
    • ½ teaspoon of fresh ginger minced
    • 1 clove of garlic minced
    • 200 g of greens like pak choy spinach, Chinese broccoli, or Chinese cabbage
    • 2 tablespoon sesame oil
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 tablespoon chives chopped
    • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

    Instructions

    • Start with infusing your vegetable broth with the Asian flavours. Add the pieces of ginger, lemongrass, and red chilli to your stock. Bring to the boil, turn down the heat and let simmer gently (covered) for approx. 30 minutes so leave all the flavours to infuse.
    • After 30 minutes add the rice vinegar and tamari, strain the stock, and keep warm.
    • Meanwhile; cook your noodles according package. If they are cooked before you are ready to serve drizzle a little oil on them so they don’t stick.
    • Heat the olive oil in a pan add the mushrooms with a pinch of salt.
    • After 3 minutes add the minced garlic and ginger and stir well. Leave to cook another 3 minutes, for the flavours to get infused.
    • Finally stir in the spring onions. (but keep some separate for the final topping).
    • In a separately pan or wok prepare your greens by heating the sesame oil, and adding the greens. Depending on the chosen greens this will normally only take maximum 5 minutes. We want to keep the greens crunchy and fresh.
    • Once you have your different ingredients ready, you can start serving. In a bowl pour 2 cm stock.
    • Add the noodles on one side. Green and mushrooms on the other side (all separate).
    • Add more of the stock so it just covers all the ingredients. Top everything with the rest of the spring onions, the chives, and some toasted sesame seeds

    Notes

    It's all about the infusion of the stock with this soup. You can adjust to your liking. A really nice topping with this soup is some crunchy peanuts.
