Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, bring the water to a gentle simmer. Add the dashi powder, soy sauce, mirin and sugar. Simmer the broth gently for about 5 to 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Add more salt or soy sauce if necessary, or you may need to dilute with more water if the broth is too strong or salty.

Chef's Notes

Kitchen Notes
MAKE IT EASIERTo make a more traditional Kitsune Udon, instead of filling the tofu pouches with noodles, simply cut them diagonally so that you have two large triangular pieces. Cook them briefly in the dashi broth to warm them through, before serving them on top of the noodles.

We went to this restaurant in Nara! I didn't think of trying to make this dish at home until I saw your recipe the other day. Thank you so much for this recipe ???????? It was absolutely delicious and brought back great memories of our trip to Japan last year.

Did you make this recipe?
