- 4 cups dashi or vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp mirin-free rice vinegar

- 2 tbsp scallions, sliced
Let’s make it
- Bring the broth, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar to a simmer in a pot.
- Add the aburaage and simmer 5 minutes so it absorbs the broth.
- Cook the udon according to package directions, then drain well.
- Divide the noodles between 2 bowls, ladle over the hot broth and tofu, and top with scallions.
- Serve immediately.
If the broth tastes strong for kids, dilute it with a little extra hot water.
Cooking time varies with equipment and batch size. Follow school allergy rules for children’s meals; keep perishable lunches cold.
