Simple Udon in Japanese Awase Miso Soup

When hunger strikes & you need FAST food to be served at you home little kitchen. I will recommend noodles soup. Super fast udon in miso soup with Japanese mushrooms, fried tofu, fish ball & some spring onion. Kids love noodles. Noodles in soup is really comforting especially on cold raining seasons.

I prefer to use fresh udon as it tastes better & cook faster , it is very springy or "Q" in Mandarin.

Ingredients for 1pax:
1 pkt of fresh Udon (200g)
Method:
Just buy any quality udon from the store & follow it cooking instructions.
Drop the udon into hot boiling water, cook for 3 mins or so & drain it.
Wash the udon with running tap water to clear the starch, drain & keep aside.
By doing this, the soup will not looks cloudy.

While you are cooking the udon, boil about 350ml of water.
Add in your favorite choice of Japanese mushroom, sliced fried tofu, fish ball or your choice of ingredients.
Once all these are cooked, go ahead & add in 1tbsp of your favorite miso & spring onions.
Slightly stir the miso & cooked udon & let it simmer for abt 30 seconds-1mins.
Serve immediately.

The success factor of this simple dish is delicious awase miso paste & good quality udon noodles.
Try to select the miso paste that has this label-"awase" on it, a type of mixed miso which taste better.
