🥢 Ingredients (Serves 2)

For the Udon:

• 2 servings of udon noodles (fresh or frozen)

For the Sauce:

• 1 tablespoon white or yellow miso paste

• 1 cup full-fat coconut milk

• 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

For Garnish:

• Sliced green onions

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. Cook the Udon Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the udon noodles and cook according to package instructions until tender, usually about 3–5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Stir in the miso paste until fully dissolved and smooth.

3. Add Garlic: Once the sauce is heated through but not boiling, add the minced garlic. Stir consistently for about one minute until fragrant.

4. Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked udon noodles directly into the sauce mixture. Toss gently to ensure all noodles are well-coated with the creamy sauce.

5. Adjust Seasoning: Taste your creamy miso udon and adjust seasoning as needed. You may want to add more miso paste or salt depending on your preference.

6. Serve: Transfer to bowls and garnish with sliced green onions for freshness before serving hot.
