    Cooked udon noodles in bowl

    Udon soup broth in large pot
  • Portion cooked noodles evenly among 4 bowls, then ladle broth over noodles. Top as desired and serve.

Recipe Notes

  • Soy Sauce: You can substitute coconut aminos if you'd like.
  • Make it Reduced Sugar: Use granulated Swerve or monk fruit in place of the sugar. The mirin does have a sweetener so the recipe won't be completely sugar-free, but it will help.
