Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup carrots, thinly sliced
1 cup snow peas, cut in half crosswise
5 napa cabbage leaves, cut crosswise into 1-inch-wide strips
4 ounces (about 2 cups packed) spinach, coarse stems removed and leaves cut crosswise into 1-inch-wide strips
8 ounces dried udon noodles
6 cups dashi
1/2 cup light soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
1 ounce (about 4) fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed
8 littleneck clams, scrubbed
4 ounces (about 12) small shrimp, peeled, deveined, and butterflied
2 scallions (white and green parts), cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces and julienned

Steps:

  • Bring large pot water to boil over high heat. Have ready large bowl ice water. Add carrots, snow peas, cabbage, and spinach to boiling water and blanch until crisp-tender, about 30 seconds. Using slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to ice water to stop cooking (reserve boiling water), then transfer to colander to drain. Set aside.

  • Divide vegetables between bowls atop noodles, then ladle hot broth, chicken, mushrooms, clams, and shrimp over. Serve immediately.

The noodles were overcooked and the sauce was too salty.

This dish is a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use some more seasoning, maybe some soy sauce or garlic.
