Ingredients

200g dried udon noodles
2 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
3 cups water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: sesame seeds for garnish

Preparation

Cooking without limits means embracing what you have rather than what a recipe demands. This udon dish proves that frozen vegetables and pantry ingredients can create something deeply satisfying with minimal effort and just one pot to clean.

Preparation:

Bring the water to a boil in a large pot over high heat.
Add the frozen vegetables directly from the freezer and the dried udon noodles. Cook according to the udon package directions, usually 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the noodles cook, mix the miso paste with 3 tablespoons of the hot cooking water in a small bowl until smooth.
When the noodles are tender, reduce heat to low. Add the butter, dissolved miso mixture, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Stir everything together for 1-2 minutes until the butter melts and creates a glossy sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.

Kitchen tip: If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash more water. Too thin? Let it simmer for another minute or two.
