Ingredients

• 3 tbsp red miso paste
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 100 g dried udon noodles
• 1 head baby bok choy, quartered lengthways  
• 1 spring onion, thinly sliced
• 1 hard–boiled egg, halved
• chopped silken tofu (optional)
• chopped fresh red chilli or chilli oil, and shredded ginger (optional), to serve

Instructions

1. Place the miso paste, soy sauce and 500 ml (2 cups) water in a large saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring until the miso has dissolved. Taste to see if it is strong enough for you - I use a lot of miso and this recipe is toned down a little.
2. Once the stock is how you like it, add the dried noodles and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the bok choy and simmer for another 2 minutes or until tender.
3. Place the noodles in a serving bowl, add the bok choy, boiled egg, spring onion and tofu if using, then pour over the broth. Top with a drizzle of chilli oil and a little shredded ginger for an extra kick if you like.
