By lorik

Ingredients

• 1 cup vegetable broth (or other broth)
• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 star anise
• 1 teaspoon salt
• handful of udon noodles
• 1-2 cups swiss chard, torn into pieces (or other hearty green)
• 1/2 block tofu, cubed
• 2-4 spring onions, sliced
• soy sauce, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Serves 2, but is easily doubled or halved

Bring liquids, bay leaf, and anise to a boil. Add the udon noodles. When the udon is almost cooked but still slightly crunchy, add the chard. Cook until the udon and chard are both tender. Stir in the tofu and spring onions.

Remove the pot from the heat. Remove the bay leaf and star anise, and season with soy sauce as needed. Divide between bowls and enjoy!
