Tips

Leftover dashi or broth can be stored for 5 days in the fridge or up to 1 month in the freezer. If freezing, divide into portions for convenience. If you don’t want to make your own dashi from scratch, see in post for alternatives. See post for more topping ideas. NOTE: The nutritional value is based on drinking up the soup (we usually don’t drink all the soup when it comes to udon.)
