- 800 ml Dashi stock(Can be made from dashi powder or instant dashi granules dissolved in hot water, or use homemade dashi.)
- 4 tbsp Soy sauce(Use Japanese soy sauce for authentic flavor.)
- 4 tbsp Mirin(Sweet Japanese rice wine. If unavailable, substitute with sake and a pinch of sugar.)

Prepare the broth: In a medium saucepan, combine the dashi stock, soy sauce, and mirin. If using, add the optional tablespoon of sugar. Stir to combine.
โฑ๏ธ 5 minutes - 2
Simmer the beef: Bring the broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced beef to the simmering broth, separating the slices as you add them. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the beef is just cooked through and no longer pink. Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface. The broth should become slightly richer and the beef tender.
โฑ๏ธ 5-7 minutes - 3
Cook the udon noodles: While the beef simmers, cook the udon noodles according to package instructions. Typically, fresh or frozen udon only requires a few minutes of boiling. Drain the noodles thoroughly.
โฑ๏ธ 3-5 minutes - 4
Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked udon noodles between two large serving bowls. Ladle the hot dashi broth over the noodles, ensuring each bowl gets a generous amount of broth.
โฑ๏ธ 2 minutes - 5
Top and serve: Arrange the simmered beef slices over the noodles and broth. Garnish generously with the thinly sliced green onions. Sprinkle with Shichimi Togarashi, if desired, for a touch of spice.
