My family likes udon soup a lot as it can be served in different ways, making it versatile. I like to make this tomato udon soup whenever I don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen. It’s very easy to prepare the soup base in a short space of time, and add whatever meat or vegetables you can have in your fridge or pantry. The soup is flavourful with miso paste and tomatoes, and is definitely healthier if you add more greens to it.

Instructions

In another pot of boiling water, blanch udon for 2 – 3 minutes, drain well and divide into 2 – 3 serving bowls. Blanch xiao bai chai for 1 minute, drain well and divide/distribute into the serving bowls Lastly blanch the pork belly for about 2 minutes or till cooked and also divide/distribute into the serving bowls. Lastly pour the hot soup into the bowls of udon together with the mushrooms and shrimps. Serve immediately.
