Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound udon noodles
8 cups water
1 ounce dried kombu (dried kelp)
6 shiitake mushroom caps, thinly sliced
½ cup chopped kimchi
½ red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
4 green onions, sliced
3 tablespoons miso paste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese rice wine)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 lime, juiced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons canola oil, or as needed
½ (14 ounce) package firm tofu, cubed

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook udon in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking; set aside.
  • Combine water and kombu in a large soup pot over medium heat; bring to a gentle simmer. Turn off heat and pour through a fine sieve or strainer. Pour broth back into the soup pot and discard the kombu. Add mushrooms, kimchi, bell pepper, green onions, miso, soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, maple syrup, ginger, sesame oil, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
  • While soup is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and fry on each side until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove tofu to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Add tofu to the soup.
  • Divide udon noodles amongst 4 bowls. Ladle the hot broth-tofu mixture over top and serve immediately.
