Ingredients
- ½ pound fresh shiitake mushrooms
- 1 small piece dried kombu
- 1 small yellow onion, sliced into quarters
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 3 cups water
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 scallions, diced
- 2 pieces inari aka marinated fried tofu skin (*optional)
- 2 packages udon noodles
Instructions
- Cut the stems off 1/2 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms and thinly slice the mushroom caps.
- Add the mushroom stems, 1 small piece dried kombu, 1 small yellow onion, sliced into quarters, 2 cloves garlic, crushed, and 3 cups water to a small stockpot. Bring to a simmer, then turn the heat down to maintain a low simmer for 30 minutes, or until the onion no longer smells raw.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet on high heat and sauté the mushrooms until they are browned and aromatic—should take only a couple of minutes.
- Strain the soup into a large bowl and stir in the sauteed sliced mushrooms. (I strain the soup directly into the skillet so I can scrape up all the yummy bits of mushroom that have stuck to the skillet and incorporate them into the soup for more flavour.)
- Add 1 tsp salt and 1 tbsp soy sauce, plus more to taste.
- Return the empty stockpot to the stove. Bring some water to a boil and cook the 2 packages udon noodles.
- When noodles are done, drain them and divide them into two bowls. Pour over the mushroom broth. Top the bowls with 2 pieces inari aka marinated fried tofu skin and 2 scallions, diced.
