Mushroom Udon Noodle Bowl image

Topping the list of the most satisfying meals, a big steaming bowl of noodles in broth nurtures body and soul. Though many noodle soups rely on long-simmered meat stock, this vegetarian broth is quickly prepared and very flavorful. The recipe calls for thick chewy udon noodles, but use another type of noodle, if you wish.

1 (1-inch) chunk of ginger, smashed and unpeeled
2 whole, unpeeled garlic cloves
Stems or trimmings from fresh shiitake mushrooms (see below) (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound dried udon noodles (or use fresh or frozen, cooked udon)

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Slicing the shiitake mushrooms, green onions, and ginger ahead of time will save you time when you're ready to cook.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven: This will give the noodles and vegetables plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.

  • Season to taste: Add more soy sauce, mirin, or rice vinegar to taste, if desired.
