Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 2 servings Udon Noodle vacuum pack

Soup Base

  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • ½ medium Onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, sliced
  • 4 Shiitake Mushrooms
  • ⅓ cup Water
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp White Miso Paste
  • ¼ cup Heavy Cream
  • ¾ cup Milk

Protein and Garnish

  • 90 g Beef Brisket
  • 2 Poached Eggs
  • Green Onion, chopped, for garnish
  • Dried Seaweed, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook Udon Noodles: Boil the udon noodles in hot water according to the package instructions. Once cooked, strain them and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Mushrooms: Heat the butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Add the sliced onions, garlic, and shiitake mushrooms. Sauté until fragrant and the onions become translucent, allowing the flavors to develop.
  3. Add Liquid and Seasoning: Pour in the water and soy sauce, stirring to combine all ingredients well. This forms the base of your soup.
  4. Prepare Miso Soup Base: Turn off the heat and strain the soup liquid into a separate bowl to remove the solids. Then, pour this strained liquid back into the saucepan and stir in the white miso paste until fully dissolved and incorporated.
  5. Add Cream and Milk: Stir in the heavy cream and milk into the miso soup base. Place the saucepan back on medium heat and bring the soup to a gentle boil.
  6. Cook Beef Brisket: Add the beef brisket to the boiling soup and cook until just done, ensuring the meat remains tender. Once cooked, remove the beef and set aside.
  7. Warm Udon and Assemble: Warm the udon noodles if necessary, then transfer them into serving bowls. Pour the creamy miso soup over the noodles.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Top the soup with the cooked beef brisket, sautéed shiitake mushrooms, chopped green onions, dried seaweed, and poached eggs. Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting bowl of Creamy Miso Udon Soup.

Notes

  • For a richer broth, use full-fat milk and heavy cream as suggested.
  • Adjust the amount of miso paste to taste, as some brands may be saltier than others.
  • The beef brisket can be substituted with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
  • Poached eggs add extra creaminess and protein but can be omitted for a lighter version.
  • Rinsing the noodles after boiling prevents them from becoming mushy in the soup.
  • Use fresh shiitake mushrooms for the best flavor, but dried rehydrated mushrooms can be used as a substitute.
