Udon Soup
This udon soup recipe is perfect for lunch or dinner, especially when you’re pressed for time. It’s a quick, healthy and versatile dish to make. You can mix and match any vegetable you have on hand. Just keep in mind that some vegetables may need a longer cooking time than others, remember to adapt the recipe accordingly.
Correction: In the video I say Udon noodles are rice noodles, they are in fact made with wheat flour. Please forgive my slip.

Hi, I like your food recipe videos – I hope you guys will make more of these in 2012.
Thanks.
Hi B,
We’re glad you like the cooking vids. We plan to post new ones soon. Please keep an eye out for them.
Finally! i found a vegan Udon recipe! Thanks!!
Just one thing..I’ve read that miso should be added to soup when it’s about to be eaten since it shouldn’t boil.
Hi Daniela,
Thanks for mentioning that miso should not be boiled. We (Mauro and I) boil it with the noodles to add flavor We think the noodles are tastier that way. In our opinion, if you boil the miso or add it to very hot water, you’re still killing the enzymes. Anyhow, we used an inexpensive miso paste (I’ve read that the ezymatic quality of the cheaper brands isn’t that high) for this udon soup. If you buy the more expensive and higher quality miso, don’t boil it or add it to piping hot soup, wait for the soup to cool down a bit and add it just before serving. Cheers!
