For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth or bone broth. Adjust the amount of soy sauce and sesame oil to your preference. If you don't have udon noodles, you can use any thin noodle such as vermicelli or angel hair pasta. Be sure to pour the eggs in slowly and stir gently to create delicate egg ribbons. Avoid over-stirring, which can result in smaller, less noticeable egg pieces. If you like a spicier soup, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili oil to each bowl.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small saucepan, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. (5 minutes)
02
StepAdd the broken udon noodles to the boiling broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender but still slightly firm. (8-10 minutes)
03
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the cold water and cornstarch until smooth. This creates a slurry that will help thicken the soup.
04
StepSlowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue to whisk until the soup slightly thickens. (1-2 minutes)
05
StepReduce the heat to low. Gradually pour the beaten eggs into the soup in a thin, steady stream, stirring gently and continuously. The eggs should cook into delicate, wispy strands. (2-3 minutes)
06
StepSeason the soup with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
07
StepLadle the soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings such as crushed peanuts, chives, chili sauce, red pepper flakes, and a squeeze of lime.
