Time 1h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

10 cups water
2 ounces dried mixed mushrooms, such as porcini or shitake, about 2 cups
10 coin-sized pieces of fresh ginger
5 cloves garlic, smashed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 pound fresh mixed mushrooms, such shitake caps or cremini, sliced
very thin
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs
1/4 cup medium-dry sherry
1 tablespoon soy sauce
8 ounces cooked udon noodles (or somen, buckwheat/soba, or ramen noodles)
1 to 2 ounces enoki mushrooms, optional
4 scallions, green part only, thinly sliced on the bias
Gomashio or sansho pepper, for seasoning

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot bring the water to a boil along with the dried mushrooms, ginger, and garlic. Adjust the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and let steep, 30 more minutes.
  • While the broth steeps: Melt the butter over high heat in a large nonstick skillet, add the sliced fresh mushrooms and cook until crisp and brown, about 10 minutes. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper, to taste, and distribute them evenly between 4 soup bowls.
  • Put the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, turn off heat, cover, and let cook until almost soft boiled, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately rinse the eggs with cold water and set aside.
  • Strain the broth. Reheat and season with the sherry, soy sauce, and salt to taste. Distribute noodles, enoki mushrooms, if using, and scallions evenly in each soup bowl. Crack a soft-boiled egg into each bowl (to maintain the eggs' shape, take care to peel them carefully, or use as small spoon to free them from the shell). Ladle 2 cups of hot broth into each bowl. Sprinkle gomashio or shansho pepper over the soup, if desired, and serve immediately.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped carrots and celery and it turned out great.

I love this soup! It's so flavorful and comforting. I always add a little bit of Sriracha to give it a bit of a kick.

This soup was very easy to make and turned out great! I used gluten-free noodles and it was still delicious.

The soup was a bit too salty for me. I would use less soy sauce next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I would add more soy sauce or miso paste next time.

This soup was absolutely delicious! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the combination of mushrooms, eggs, and noodles was perfect. I especially loved the addition of the green onions and sesame seeds, which added a nice pop of color and flavor.
