Shrimp Udon Soup


One of the best fast-food dishes I can cook up on those nights when I don't want to get too involved with making dinner or just want something hot and right away. There's nothing like a nice big bowl of hot Udon soup, in this case, shrimp. Udon is a type of Japanese, thick wheat-flour noodle, and is usually served hot as soup in a mildly flavoured broth.

I start with the raw shrimp and in a two cups of water and a teaspoon of dashi in a small pot and bring to a boil. They say to keep the skin shrimp on when you cook it, but I've peeled them before and cooked the shells first for the broth.

It's not rocket science, add some wakame (Japanese seaweed) optional of course, tofu let simmer for a couple of minutes and boom...

Ingredients
  • 1 Package fresh Undon Noodles
  • 4 Large raw shrimps
  • 1 Stalk Green Onion (scalllion)
  • 1 Tablespoon Dashi
  • Pinch dry Wakame
  • 2 ounces Tofu
