Ingredient Notes

Shiitake Mushrooms: One of the more popular mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms are loaded with a rich, earthy flavour. And like this recipe, they are best when simply sautéed in a pan with just a few ingredients.

Silken Tofu: Did you know there are different kinds of tofu? This udon noodle soup recipe calls for silken tofu, which is also referred to as soft, silk, or Japanese-style tofu and has a softer consistency than regular tofu. Because of its softness, it crumbles easier than regular tofu and has more of a creaminess than regular tofu.  

How To Make This Udon Noodle Soup Recipe

1. Add 1 tbsp sesame oil to a small soup pot. Warm to medium heat and add the diced onion, minced garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes until softened.
2. Add the sliced mushrooms and saute for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the vegetable stock (or vegetable bouillon and water) and miso paste. Bring to a simmer (turn up the heat if needed) and cook until miso is dissolved about 4-5 minutes.
4. Add udon noodles, tamari and spinach and cook 3-4 minutes until noodles are warmed through.
5. Turn off the heat and stir in the tofu. Taste and add more tamari if needed. Pour into a bowl and serve topped with chopped green onions.
