This soup is a delicious combination of savory broth, chewy noodles, and tender dumplings, all topped with fresh scallions and sesame seeds. It’s perfect for a chilly day, or anytime you need a satisfying bowl of soup.
Miso soup is a traditional Japanese dish that’s made with dashi (a stock made from kombu seaweed and bonito flakes) and miso paste (a fermented soybean paste). Miso paste comes in different varieties, such as white, red, or mixed, and each one has a different flavor and saltiness. For this recipe, we recommend using white or mixed miso paste, as they are milder and sweeter than red miso paste.
Udon noodles are thick and chewy wheat noodles that are commonly used in Japanese cuisine. They can be found fresh, frozen, or dried in most Asian grocery stores or online. For this recipe, we recommend using fresh or frozen udon noodles, as they have a better texture and flavor than dried ones. To cook them, simply boil them in water for a few minutes, then drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Dumplings are small pieces of dough filled with various ingredients, such as meat, vegetables, or cheese. They can be steamed, boiled, fried, or baked, depending on the type and preference. For this recipe, we recommend using store-bought frozen dumplings, as they are convenient and easy to cook. You can choose any kind of dumplings you like, such as pork, chicken, or vegetable. To cook them, simply add them to the boiling soup and simmer until they are cooked through.
