Recipe Note
Notes: Follow the instructions on the udon package, they can vary. If you can find the udon that is FRESH and ready to cook, that is the best and usually only takes 3-5 minutes to cook.
You can also use pre-cooked udon that comes in a package, all you need to do with that is heat them up in the soup.
Alternatively if you don't have udon you can use spaghetti noodles - follow the instructions on the box cooking them separately and adding them into the soup after.
For the ginger, garlic and shallots, if you don't have fresh, then I like to use Christopher Ranch style that is already in a jar and ready to use. It's simple and easy!
