Recipe: Udon in Buttery Tomato and Soy Broth



Bon Appetit Magazine, Mar 2021, p. 80
5 stars

Incredibly flavorful vegetarian soup -- and restaurant worthy.
As the recipe blurb states "you may be surprised at how quickly this broth builds flavor, with massive depth from golden onions, tomatoes, soy sauce and just a tiny bit of butter for a silky finish." They were absolutely right! Plus, this was a very easy weeknight dish.

Ingredients: beefsteak tomatoes, instant udon noodles, onions, scallions, cilantro, garlic, ginger, cinnamon stick, star anise, soy sauce, unsalted butter, sesame oil, vegetable oil, black pepper, Kosher salt

Tips:
  • Used regular large beefsteak-looking tomatoes
  • Grated the tomatoes using the food processor
  • Next time, try substituting 2 cups of the water for 2 cups of beef broth to add another layer of flavor, not that it really needs more flavor -- but it might give it an even more pho-like flavor
  • Could add basil next time as a garnish too
