Directions

Step 1
Blanch aburaage by boiling for 2-3 minutes to remove excess oil. Gently squeeze out water. Slice in half diagonally.
Step 2
In a medium pot, combine dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Add the prepared aburaage and simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the sweet and savory flavors.
Step 3
While the aburaage simmers, cook udon noodles according to package directions (usually 2-3 minutes for frozen udon). Drain well.
Step 4
Divide cooked udon noodles into two large serving bowls.
Step 5
Carefully ladle the hot broth and aburaage over the udon noodles.
Step 6
Garnish generously with chopped scallions and a pinch of shichimi togarashi, if desired. Serve immediately.
