  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion or scallions
  • 3 cups vegetable broth or dashi
  • 1 cup coconut milk or heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  2. Add sliced vegetables and cook for a few minutes until softened.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen udon noodles for best texture.
  • Coconut milk adds a creamy vegan twist.
  • Store soup and noodles separately to avoid sogginess.
  • Customize with gochujang, poached eggs, or other veggies like corn or bamboo shoots.
