Ingredients
- 2 7-ounce packages udon noodles fresh or frozen, spaghetti or bucatini also work
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil or olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
- 3 cloves garlic grated or minced
- 4 cups water
- 3 6-gram packets dashi
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons mirin
- Salt to taste
For Topping:
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- Togarashi optional
Instructions
- Prepare noodles according to package directions, and drain. Toss with a teaspoon of sesame or olive oil to prevent them from sticking, and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the ginger and garlic and saute until it becomes fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the water and the dashi packets. Bring to a boil then simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove the dashi packet, squeezing out the liquids, then discard.
- Add the soy sauce and mirin and stir to combine. Season with salt, to taste.
- Stir in the cooked noodles and heat over medium-low, if necessary, to rewarm them.
- Top with green onions and togarashi, as desired, and enjoy.
Notes
If you can't find dashi, you can substitute chicken broth.
