Scale
Soup Base
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tsp sugar
Main Ingredients
- 14 oz udon noodles (fresh or dried)
- 2 cups chicken breast (cooked and shredded)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
Instructions
- Boil the Broth: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a rolling boil to create a flavorful base for the soup.
- Season the Broth: Add soy sauce, mirin, and sugar to the boiling broth. Stir well to ensure the seasonings are evenly combined.
- Simmer the Broth: Reduce the heat to low and let the broth gently simmer for about 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together perfectly.
- Cook Udon Noodles: While the broth simmers, cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set the noodles aside.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked noodles evenly among serving bowls and top each serving with the shredded chicken breast.
- Serve: Ladle the hot seasoned broth over the noodles and chicken in each bowl. Garnish with the freshly chopped green onions for a hint of freshness and added texture, then serve immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh or dried udon noodles depending on availability; dried noodles may require slightly longer cooking time.
- Leftover rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked chicken can be used to save time.
- Adjust soy sauce to taste if you prefer a saltier or milder broth.
- For added depth, consider adding mushrooms or spinach to the broth while simmering.
- Mirin can be substituted with a sweet rice wine or a mixture of sugar and water if unavailable.
