Step 1
Bring water to a boil in a pot. Add kombu and remove from heat immediately. Let steep 5 minutes, then remove kombu.
Step 2
Return water to a boil, add bonito flakes, and remove from heat. Let settle 2 minutes, then strain through fine mesh. Discard flakes.
Step 3
Return dashi to pot. Add soy sauce, mirin, and salt. Simmer gently on low heat.
Step 4
Divide udon noodles between two 6-cup donabe (clay pots) or divide broth between two small pots.
Step 5
Pour hot broth evenly into both pots. Arrange chicken pieces, mushrooms, cabbage, carrot, kamaboko, and green onion on top of noodles.
Step 6
Bring both pots to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook 8-10 minutes until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
Step 7
Create a small well in each pot's center. Crack one egg into each well. Cover with a lid or foil and cook 3-4 minutes until egg white is set but yolk remains runny.
Step 8
Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and shichimi togarashi. Serve immediately in the pot.
