Tasty Vegetable Miso Udon Soup: Feel Good About Eating Your Veggies

Udon, those addictive thick chewy noodles have strung together the hearts of many.

No denying it, I’m a huge fan myself of this delicious Japanese favorite, ranking it as high as my love for ramen.

The funniest part, is that Miso Udon soup isn’t even the most amazing part of the dish,  these noodles are actually only mildly flavored and pretty tasteless on its own. It’s the soup and ingredients that take the credit for that long lasting memorable taste.

Pair Udon with anything from seafood to meat to soy sauce, it will still taste amazing as it goes well with many ingredients.

To add bonus points, it’s also a healthier alternative since it’s a wheat and flour based noodle. If you want to go all out on the healthy scale or just in the mood for some vegetarian cuisine, this Veggie Udon recipe is a must try.

Warning to Carnivores:  This veggie Udon recipe is serious about their vegetables, there’s no meat in sight whatsoever. But meat lovers, you can relax, once you take a bite of those chewy thick noodles soaked in a spoonful of rich Miso soup, you’ll be so in love, you’ll have forgotton all about meat.
Then by the last bite, you can lay back, successfully pat yourself on the back, and feel extra good about eating your veggies.
