Ingredients

4 cups dashi stock (or 4 cups water + 1 tsp dashi granules)
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp mirin
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 packs (7 oz each) frozen udon noodles (or 14 oz fresh udon)
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 soft-boiled eggs, halved
4 slices narutomaki (fish cake), optional
1 sheet nori, torn into pieces

Instructions

In a medium pot, bring dashi stock to a simmer over medium heat.
Add soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and salt. Stir until sugar dissolves. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Add frozen udon noodles to the broth and cook according to package directions (usually 2-3 minutes), separating noodles with chopsticks.
Divide noodles and broth into two bowls.
Top each bowl with green onions, a soft-boiled egg, narutomaki slices, and nori pieces. Serve immediately.

Tips

For a richer broth, use homemade dashi from kombu and bonito flakes.
To soft-boil eggs, boil for 6-7 minutes, then transfer to ice water.
Add protein like sliced chicken or tofu for a heartier meal.
