Method
Cooking the Noodles
- 1
Boil the Udon Noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the udon noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes, until they are tender but still firm to the bite. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Drain the Noodles
Once cooked, drain the noodles in a colander and rinse them under cold running water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch. Set aside.
Preparing the Broth

Heat the Dashi Stock
In a saucepan, pour in the dashi stock and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Add Soy Sauce and Mirin
Once the dashi is simmering, add the soy sauce and mirin. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Taste the broth and season with salt as needed.
Assembling the Dish

Combine Noodles and Broth
In serving bowls, place a portion of the cooked udon noodles. Carefully ladle the hot broth over the noodles until they are submerged.

Add Toppings
Sprinkle the chopped green onions, shredded nori seaweed, toasted sesame seeds, and tempura flakes over the top of the noodles and broth.
