4 servings
Servings4
150g all-purpose flour (中力粉)
80ml water
100g chicken (thigh)
120g daikon radish
80g carrot
80g burdock root
2 taro potatoes
1 piece of fried tofu (油揚げ)
2 shiitake mushrooms
1/2 green onion
3 tablespoons miso
4 cups water
20g dried sardines (煮干し)

tofu

🥗Healthier: silken tofu

💰Cheaper: firm tofu

Silken tofu provides a creamier texture while being lower in calories.

shiitake mushrooms

🥗Healthier: button mushrooms

💰Cheaper: cremini mushrooms

Button mushrooms are more affordable and still add flavor.

mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

💰Cheaper: white wine + sugar

This mix mimics the sweetness of mirin at a lower cost.

sake

🥗Healthier: dry white wine

💰Cheaper: cooking wine

Cooking wine can be a less expensive option.

1

In a pot, soak the dried sardines (with heads and guts removed) in water for about 30 minutes, then heat and remove the sardines to make the dashi broth.

2

In a bowl, combine the flour and water (adjusting the amount as needed), knead quickly to form a dough, and let it rest for 15 minutes.

3

Peel and cut the daikon and carrot into thin strips, slice the fried tofu, cut the burdock root into thin slices, cut the peeled taro and chicken into bite-sized pieces, slice the green onion diagonally, and remove the stems from the shiitake mushrooms, making decorative cuts on the surface.

4

In the pot with the dashi broth, add all ingredients except for the green onion and bring to a boil.

5

On a cutting board, dust with flour and roll out the rested dough, cutting it into slightly thick noodles.

6

Once the pot is boiling, add the noodles, cook for 7-8 minutes until the noodles are done, season with miso, and finally add the green onion.
