- 4 cups
- Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons
- Mirin
- 1 tablespoon
- Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced

Instructions
- Cook the udon noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, soy sauce, and mirin. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

- Top each bowl with the sautéed mushrooms, baby bok choy, and sliced green onions.
- Carefully peel and halve the soft-boiled eggs, placing one half in each bowl.
- Finish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for a nutty crunch.
- Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors!
Tips
- For an added kick, try incorporating some chili oil or fresh chili slices.
- You can substitute the baby bok choy with other leafy greens such as spinach or kale.
- Feel free to add other protein options like tofu or chicken for a heartier meal.
