Noodles and Rice

Pork Udon soup

by Tom on April 29th, 2008

Udon are one of my favourite noodles (up there with soba and somen).  This recipe was more like a “empty the cupboard improvisation but it turned out quite good.

First I boiled a pot of water and mixed in the end of a packet of consomme stock cubes.  This was only about half strength so I built it up with some dashi granules.  At the same time I grilled some thin sliced lean pork, some mushrooms and green onions and hard boiled an egg.  When the stock was boiling, I dropped in the fresh udon noodles and green vegetables for about 3 minutes.  Served it into bowls and added the pork, mushrooms, onions and egg.

 This is nothing exotic but I hope that it will inspire you to try throwing together whatever is in your kitchen rather than heading out for takeaway junk food again.
