Notes
*1 In the photo, you can see 3 of them. You only need 2, I had to cook for my son who eats a lot so he had extra.
*2 I used 2 frozen Udon Noodles. Usually cook only for 1 minute, but check the package instructions.
*3 If you are going to make it from scratch, check out how to make dashi, the link is in the above post. If you would like to use dashi powder which is a little bit of a shortcut, you need 1 tsp of dashi powder.
