Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Peel the 4 oz daikon and slice into 1/4-inch rounds, then cut the 4 oz fish cake into thin slices. Slice the 2 green onions diagonally into 1-inch pieces.

  2. Step 2

    In a pot, bring 4 cups dashi stock to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the 3 tbsp soy sauce and 2 tbsp mirin, stirring to combine.

  3. Step 3

    Add the daikon slices to the broth and simmer over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes. The daikon should be easily pierced with a fork.

  4. Step 4

    Add the 2 servings udon noodles and the fish cake slices to the pot. Cook until the noodles are heated through and separated, about 3-4 minutes, stirring gently.

  5. Step 5

    Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure each gets noodles, daikon, and fish cake. Top with the sliced green onions and serve hot.
