Tips:
- To make sure the tilapia is cooked evenly, use a shallow skillet so that the heat can circulate around the fish.
- If you don't have a shallow skillet, you can also cook the tilapia in a steamer.
- The miso poaching liquid can be used to make a delicious sauce for the udon noodles. Simply reduce the liquid by half over medium heat until it thickens.
- If you don't have white miso paste, you can use red miso paste instead. Just be aware that red miso paste has a stronger flavor, so you may want to use less of it.
- Udon noodles can be found in most Asian grocery stores. If you can't find udon noodles, you can substitute another type of thick noodle, such as ramen noodles or soba noodles.
- To make the dish vegetarian, you can omit the tilapia and add more vegetables, such as tofu, broccoli, or carrots.
Conclusion:
This udon noodles with miso-poached tilapia is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The tilapia is cooked in a flavorful miso broth, and the udon noodles are tossed with a simple sauce made from soy sauce, mirin, and sake.
