Miso and udon, the perfect combo! I added some chili flakes for a kick. Yum!
Looks easy, but where do I find red miso? Can I substitut with something else? 🤔
You can usually find red miso at Asian grocery stores. If you can’t find it, maybe try using tahini or another nut butter? Not the same but close enough!
Just use soy sauce, it will taste different but still good. Just don’t expect real miso flavor, ya know?
This recipe confuses me, do I cook the noodles with broth or after? Anyone? Help!
You cook the noodles separately and then add them to the broth later. Don’t worry, it’s easy! 😊
I don’t get it either. How can you put the noodles in the broth? Wouldn’t they get soggy? 🤔
I had no idea what udon noodles were, but this is delicious! I used regular pasta instead and it still worked. 🤷♂️
This recipe is amazing! My family loved it. So easy to make and the flavors are spot on. Will definitely make again!
Just tried making this, and it was a COMPLETE DISASTER! I forgot to add the miso and it tasted terrible. 😩
Simply delicious, but I forgot to add the spinach and it was still good. My kids even ate it, which is a win!
Great to hear your kids liked it! It’s a win when they eat veggies, right? I might skip the spinach next time too, just to simplify. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, forgot the spinach? How does it even still taste good? I find that hard to believe. Just adding the miso would be blah. 🤔
Yummy 😋
Yummmm 😍, I added some chili flakes and it brought the heat! This will be my go-to recipe now!
Udon is okay, but I prefer ramen. Just my taste. This recipe seems like a lot of work too.
Tried this but it didn’t come out as expected. Wasn’t as flavorful as I thought. Maybe I need to add more miso?
I only had regular mushrooms, but it turned out great! Love this dish, thanks!
Too hard to cook, I couldn’t even find the right miso paste at the store. What is miso anyway??
I don’t know, this sounds kinda bland. Can you add more spices or something? I like it spicy.
This recipe is amazing! The flavors are so rich and comforting. I will definitely make this again. 🍜
Sounds good, but isn’t udon kinda chewy? 😕
I totally agree! This recipe warms my heart! ❤️
