Udon Noodle Soup with Pork
Report
This soup is so comforting and it's all because of the deeply flavorful broth. The broth can be made up to 3 days in advance. Chill and then easily scrape off any congealed fat from the surface of the broth. Udon noodles can be found in Asian markets or online. Adapt the soup components to your tastes.

Instructions
Do Ahead - Prepare the Broth
- In a large pot, add the short ribs, onions, carrots, cinnamon stick, and ginger. Cover with 2½ quarts (10 cups) of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours. Add more water if needed to keep the ingredients covered. Let cool, remove the bones, pull off the meat, and keep for another use. Strain into a pot and chill for 3 hours, or overnight. Use a spoon to remove any solid, congealed fat from the surface. Store the broth until ready to use.
Make the Soup
- Place the pork in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
- To cook the eggs, add enough water to a pot to cover the eggs. Bring to a boil and then gently lower the eggs into the water. Boil for exactly 8 minutes then remove with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl filled with cool water. Set aside.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. If using fresh udon, carefully add the udon and boil for about 1 minute. If using dried, cook until just tender, usually about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain into a colander and rinse with cool water. Set aside.
- Remove the pork from the freezer and slice it against the grain into thin slices, then cut those slices into smaller strips. Set aside.
- Add the broth to a large skillet (or pot) and bring to a simmer.
- Increase the heat to high, and add the carrots, shiitake and enoki mushrooms, ginger, chilis, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, and salt, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes. While the soup is simmering, peel the eggs.
- Add the pork and cook for another couple of minutes. Stir in the cooked noodles, cabbage, and scallions. Simmer until the cabbage has started to wilt, about another 3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and remove the chilis. Taste and add more soy (or salt) if desired. Ladle into bowls. Slice the eggs in half and place them on top of the soups. Garnish with additional chopped scallions and sesame seeds.

- If you can't find udon noodles or enoki mushrooms, go with any type of ramen noodles, rice noodles, or even egg noodles. Use your favorite type of mushrooms for the soup.
- Leftovers will keep in the fridge (covered) for up to 1 week. Reheat on the stove over medium heat until simmering and heated through.
