Creamy Miso Udon is a comforting and flavorful Japanese-inspired dish featuring tender udon noodles in a rich and creamy miso-coconut milk broth. This simple recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that is both satisfying and packed with umami goodness, topped with fresh green onions for a bright finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 200g fresh or frozen udon noodles

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 fresh garlic cloves, minced

Garnish

  • 2 sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Cook the udon noodles. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions, generally about 3 to 5 minutes until tender. Drain the noodles and set aside.
  2. Prepare the miso sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the low-sodium vegetable broth and full-fat coconut milk. Stir in the white or yellow miso paste until it is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Add garlic for flavor. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the sauce once it is heated through but not boiling. Cook for about one minute until the garlic is fragrant, making sure not to overheat to preserve miso’s nutrients.
  4. Toss noodles in sauce. Add the cooked udon noodles into the saucepan and toss well to ensure the noodles are fully coated with the creamy miso-coconut sauce.
  5. Serve and garnish. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed, then divide the noodles into bowls. Garnish each bowl with sliced green onions and serve hot for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen udon noodles for best texture; dried udon will also work but may need longer cooking time.
  • White miso paste is milder and sweeter compared to yellow miso, choose based on your flavor preference.
  • Be careful not to boil the miso paste once added to retain its probiotics and delicate flavor.
  • This dish can be made vegan and gluten-free if you use gluten-free udon noodles and vegetable broth.
  • Optional add-ins: sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or tofu cubes for added protein and nutrition.
