Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Udon Noodle Soup turns out perfectly:
- Feel free to add in any vegetables you have on hand, like bok choy or spinach, for added nutrition.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add more layu or a dash of chili oil.
- For a heartier meal, toss in some tofu or cooked chicken.
- Make sure to taste the broth before serving; you can adjust the seasoning to your liking!
How to Serve
This Miso Udon Soup is best enjoyed hot and fresh! Serve it in deep bowls, allowing everyone to customize their toppings. I love to pair it with a side of Green Detox Juice for a refreshing contrast. It’s a perfect combination for a cozy night in or a quick lunch break!
Make Ahead and Storage
If you’re like me and love to meal prep, this soup is a fantastic option! You can make a big batch and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just keep the noodles separate until you’re ready to serve to prevent them from getting mushy. You can also freeze the soup (without the noodles) for up to a month. When you’re ready to enjoy it, simply thaw and reheat on the stove!
So there you have it! A delicious, comforting bowl of Miso Udon Noodle Soup that’s perfect for any night of the week. Whether you’re looking for weeknight dinner ideas or just a cozy meal to warm your soul, this recipe is sure to please.
