Spicy Miso Udon Noodle Soup
Grape Milk Drink
Warm up with a comforting bowl of Japanese-style spicy miso udon noodle soup, featuring thick noodles in a fiery broth paired with a creamy grape drink.
Miso soup is a cornerstone of Japanese comfort food, and adding a spicy kick transforms it into the perfect cooler-weather warmer. The rich, savory heat of the broth is beautifully balanced by a playful, sweet grape milk beverage on the side, making this quick home-cooked meal both deeply satisfying and refreshing.
Ingredients
- 1 pack Japanese spicy miso soup base
- 1 serving white udon noodles
- 1 handful fresh spinach
- 1 handful napa cabbage leaves
- 4-5 slices naruto fish cakes (narutomaki)
- 150 ml dark purple grape beverage
- 50 ml fresh white milk
Instructions
- 1Pour the spicy miso soup base
Pour the rich Japanese spicy miso soup base from the red package directly into a clean white pot placed on an induction cooktop.
Tip: Make sure to shake the package well before pouring to get all the concentrated flavor out. - 2Add white udon noodles
Unpack a serving of white udon noodles and drop them straight into the simmering spicy miso soup base inside the pot.
Tip: Add the noodles while the broth is heating up so they absorb the spicy miso flavor as they soften. - 3Add green spinach and napa cabbage
Take a handful of fresh green spinach and napa cabbage leaves, then toss them into the pot along with the noodles and soup broth.
Tip: Add leafy greens toward the beginning so they wilt nicely and soak up the flavorful broth. - 4Add Naruto Fish Cakes
Using tongs, carefully place sliced spiral naruto fish cakes into the bubbling spicy miso soup pot along with the previously added noodles and vegetables.
Tip: Add the fish cakes towards the middle of cooking so they absorb the flavor without falling apart. - 5Pour grape beverage into a glass
Pour dark purple grape beverage from a carton into a cute stemmed glass sitting on top of a yellow floral fabric mat.
Tip: Chill the grape beverage beforehand for a refreshing contrast against the hot spicy noodles. - 6Mix in white milk
Pour fresh white milk directly into the glass of grape juice to blend the flavors into a creamy, delicious beverage.
Tip: Pour the milk slowly to create a nice layered effect before stirring it together.
