Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)

  • 1 cup baby spinach

Instructions:

Cook the Udon Noodles:

Boil a pot of water and cook the udon noodles until they're tender but still have a bit of bite. Once done, drain them and set aside.

Prep the Eggs:

  • Beat the eggs in a small bowl until they're well mixed.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then pour in the beaten eggs. Cook them gently, stirring occasionally, until they're softly scrambled. Take them off the heat and set aside.

Make the Flavourful Broth:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
  • Bring the broth to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce it to low and let it gently simmer for about 5 minutes to let the flavours meld.

Put Together the Egg Udon Noodles:

  • Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms or you can add sliced meat to the simmering broth and cook them for 2-3 minutes until they're tender.
  • Stir in the cooked udon noodles and baby spinach, and let them simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  • Give the broth a taste and add salt and pepper as needed.

Serve Up:

  • Ladle the steaming Egg Udon Noodles into bowls, making sure everyone gets a good mix of mushrooms, spinach, and noodles.
  • Top each bowl with a generous portion of softly scrambled eggs.
  • For an extra pop of flavour and texture, sprinkle on some sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and nori seaweed flakes.

Enjoy Your Meal:

  • Serve up the Egg Udon Noodles piping hot and savour the comforting blend of flavours and textures.
  • Don't be shy – slurp those noodles like a pro and relish every bite!
