Udon noodles to start my first post!


This morning got up at 7 plus and decided to make udon noodle soup for breakfast. Spent like 20 mins and viola! I have a nice piping hot bowl of japanese udon noodles. If you love japanese food and hate to pay a bomb for it, likes cooking but hate hassle, then maybe you can try out this simple receipe.

Ingredients
Instant Udon Noodles (1 packet)
Japanese fish cake (any number of slices you like)
vegetables
hard boiled egg (1)
Miso Paste (2 table spoons)
Bonito or Ikan Bilis (4 table spoons)
Water 400ml
Spring Onion sliced thinly

Method
1) Bring pot of water to a boil, then add in the bonito or ikan bilis. Boil for 5 mins, remove the ikan bilis.
2)Add in miso paste and mix well in the soup. When the soup boils, add in the instant udon noodles and japanese fish cake.
3) Add in the vegetables when the soup bubbles then lastly add in the sliced spring onion before switching off the fire.
4) The egg can be placed on top of the noodles after it is poured into a bowl.

Note: The instant udon noodles is much easier because you do not have to precook it before adding to the broth. The japanese fish cake can be purchased at NTUC, just bought 2 packet for 2 dollar plus the other day, there was a promotion going on. Other ingredients like mushrooms can be added too. But since I have an aversion to mushrooms at this present moment, I drop that from my ingredient. Happy Cooking!
