instructions
    1

    Start by preparing dashi stock in a pot. Bring 500 milliliters of water to a boil and add dashi powder, stirring well. Turn the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

    2

    While the dashi is simmering, cook the udon noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

    3

    In a separate pan, heat a little oil over medium heat and sauté the chicken thigh pieces until cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.

    4

    To the chicken, add shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 3 minutes.

    5

    Once the dashi is ready, add soy sauce and mirin to the pot, stirring well.

    6

    Now introduce the cooked udon noodles to the dashi broth. Stir to combine and let simmer for 2 minutes.

    7

    Add the sautéed chicken and shrimp to the pot. Then carefully crack the egg directly into the broth. Allow it to poach gently for 3-4 minutes until the egg whites are just set, but the yolk is still runny.

    8

    Finally, add the spinach, mushrooms, and sliced green onions. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the greens are wilted.

    9

    Serve hot, topped with tempura flakes for an added crunch.
