Scale
Main Ingredients
- 200g fresh or frozen udon noodles
- 3 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Boil the udon noodles according to the package instructions (typically 3-5 minutes), then drain and set aside to keep warm.
- Prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Stir continuously to blend.
- Add miso paste: Mix in the miso paste until it fully dissolves, creating a smooth and creamy broth. Ensure the mixture does not boil to preserve the probiotics in the miso.
- Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about one minute until fragrant, carefully keeping the heat moderate to prevent burning.
- Toss noodles with sauce: Add the cooked udon noodles to the saucepan and gently toss to coat them thoroughly with the creamy miso sauce.
- Serve and garnish: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately in bowls, garnished with fresh sliced green onions for a burst of color and flavor.
Notes
- Do not boil the miso paste to retain its probiotic benefits.
- Use fresh udon noodles for the best texture, but frozen ones work well too.
- Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
- This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free if using certified gluten-free udon noodles.
- Adjust the amount of miso paste to suit your preferred saltiness.
