Description
How to make rich and warming "Miso Nikomi Udon" (味噌煮込みうどん). Thick udon noodles in a rich red miso broth with various toppings.
Ingredients
- 150g pork belly thinly sliced or chicken bitesize pieces
- 500ml dashi (check out my homemade dashi recipe!)
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp mirin
- 1 + 1-2 tbsp red miso paste (preferably hatcho miso or shirakiku red miso)
- 2 portions udon noodles
- 50g spring onion sliced
- 50g shiitake mushrooms sliced
- 2 eggs
- 2 pieces aburaage (twice fried tofu) thinly sliced / optional
- Kamaboko (pink and white fish cake) sliced / optional
Instructions
- Heat up a frying pan on a medium heat, once hot add a drizzle of oil and the meat of your choice.
- Brown the meat until it's sealed on the outside and the fat is slightly crispy.
- Take a pot and add 500ml of dashi stock. Heat up on medium/medium-high.
- Once the dashi is almost boiling, add 2 tsp sugar, 2 tsp mirin and mix.
- Place 1 tbsp of red miso paste onto a mesh spoon or ladle and submerge it into the dashi broth briefly. Use a small whisk or chopsticks to break it up and gradually incorporate it into the broth. (Alternatively, place the miso paste in a small bowl with a few tbsp of the hot dashi, break up/whisk until there are no more lumps of miso and then pour it into the rest of the broth.)
- Cook your udon noodles in a separate pot for 3 minutes less than the packaging states and rinse to remove the excess starch.
- Transfer the udon noodles, meat and the rest of the ingredients to the broth and cook for 3 minutes.
- Turn the heat down to low and incorporate 1-2 more tbsp of miso paste. (Use same method as step 5.)
- Crack the eggs into the broth and place a lid on the pot, allow to cook for 2 minutes or until the eggs are done to your liking.
- Enjoy!
Notes
You can use chicken or pork for this recipe. Thinly sliced meat works best.
