Best 3 Japanese Noodles In Miso Soup Miso Nikomi Udon Recipes

MISO UDON NOODLE SOUP (MISO NIKOMI UDON)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Cook the udon noodles in a medium pot of boiling water for 2 minutes.
• Drain well and set aside.
• In a medium earthenware pot, or other medium heavy-duty pot, add the dashi stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium.
• Add the miso paste to the broth by first dissolving the miso with a bit of the dashi broth in a small bowl.
• Then, pour the miso mixture into the broth, stirring to combine.
• Add sake and sugar to the miso broth. Bring to a boil over high heat.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chicken and stir occasionally until cooked through.
• Add udon noodles and increase the heat to medium-high.
• Add sliced aburaage (fried tofu), green onion, and the kamaboko (fish cake), if using.
• Add the egg, if using, cover, and cook until the egg white is opaque, the yolk is cooked to your liking, and the noodles are tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Serve the miso udon noodle soup in the earthenware pot, or alternatively, transfer to a bowl, garnish with the togarashi, if using, and serve.

JAPANESE NOODLES IN MISO SOUP MISO NIKOMI UDON

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into small pieces and salt lightly.
• Soak the shiitake in water until the tops (but not the stems) are soft.
• Remove the stems and cook briefly in a small amount of water flavored with soy sauce and sugar, to flavor mildly; I would use about 1/4 cup water with 2 to 3 teaspoons each soy sauce and sugar.
• Prepare the aburage by placing it in a metal sieve in the sink and pouring 1 to 2 cups boiling water over each side, being careful not to burn yourself.
• This is to remove some of the oil.
• Rinse in warm water, squeeze dry and cut into 3 by 1/2 cm rectangles.
• Wash and scrape the gobo with the edge of a knife (the most flavor is just below the surface of the skin, so don't scrape too deeply; the scraped areas will darken almost immediately, this can't completely be helped), and cut into slivers, as if you are sharpening a pencil, into a bowl of water.
• Cut the green onion into thin slices.
• Peel the hard boiled eggs and slice horizontally.
• Stir the miso and dashi together and strain.
• Place miso mixture into a large pan; add the milk and just bring to a boil.
• Immediately lower the heat to simmer.
• Boil the udon in a lot of boiling water in a separate pan.
• Stop cooking when the udon is still a little firm; drain and rinse under cold running water to remove starch.
• Add the drained udon, chicken, drained shiitake, aburage, and gobo to the pan containing the simmering miso mixture, in this order.
• When the udon and chicken are cooked through add the kamaboko and green onion and increase heat so that the soup will just boil up once more.
• Remove from heat, divide into individual bowls, garnish with hard boiled egg slices and sprinkle on sansho.

MISO NIKOMI UDON - MISO UDON SOUP

Steps:

• Place the water and dashi powder into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the chicken thigh pieces and cook until white, around 3 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix together the red miso, white miso and mirin. Reduce heat to a simmer and add into the stock. Stir through.
• Add the udon noodles, shiitake mushrooms, carrot and fried tofu pieces. Make sure everything is covered by the stock. You can add a little extra water if needed. Cover and steam for a further 5 minutes, then remove the lid.
• Transfer cooked ingredients into serving bowls and cover with a ladle or two of stock. Garnish with optional toppings such as spring onion and shichimi chilli powder (if using).
• Optional: If you are based in a country where it is unsafe to eat raw eggs, please skip this step. Crack 1-2 eggs in the centre of the pot, and partially cook, uncovered, for a few minutes. Carefully transfer the yolk into a small dipping bowl. Dip the soup ingredients (noodles, chicken etc) into the egg yolk.
