Broth

Garnish

Method

Prepare the Noodles

  1. 1

    Cook the Udon Noodles

    Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a pot. Add 200 grams of udon noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Drain and Rinse

    Once cooked, drain the noodles in a colander and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Prepare the Tempura Batter

  1. 3

    Mix the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine 100 grams of all-purpose flour and 50 grams of cornstarch. In a separate bowl, whisk together 150 ml of ice-cold water and 1 egg yolk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (lumps are okay).

Prepare the Vegetables

  1. 4

    Cut the Vegetables

    Peel and slice the carrot, zucchini, and sweet potato into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to ensure quick cooking.

Fry the Tempura

  1. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan or wok, heat oil (about 2 inches deep) to 180°C (350°F).

  2. 6

    Dip and Fry Vegetables

    Dip the prepared vegetable strips into the tempura batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place them into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Broth

  1. 7

    Combine Broth Ingredients

    In a pot, combine 500 ml of dashi stock, 2 tbs of soy sauce, and 1 tbs of mirin. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  2. 8

    Add Green Onions

    Chop the green onions and add them to the simmering broth. Allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 9

    Serve the Udon

    Divide the cooked udon noodles into serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles.

  2. 10

    Top with Tempura

    Arrange the fried tempura vegetables on top of the noodles in the broth.

  3. 11

    Garnish

    Tear the nori seaweed into small pieces and sprinkle it over the top, along with sesame seeds for extra flavor.
