Ingredients

• Udon noodles - 200 grams
• Mackerel fillets - 2 pieces (about 200 grams total)
• Miso paste (white or yellow) - 3 tablespoons
• Dashi stock (homemade or store-bought) - 500 ml
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Coconut aminos - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. 1. In a pot, bring 1 liter of water to a boil. Add the udon noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
