Before you cook
Udon and soy sauce contain wheat; fried tofu and soy sauce contain soy. Bonito dashi contains fish, so check stock labels for fish allergy or vegetarian needs and substitute suitable kombu stock. Mirin may contain alcohol; check the product and intended diners and simmer the broth. Beware hot soup and refrigerate leftovers within two hours at 4°C/40°F or colder.
Allergens: wheat, soy, fish if dashi contains bonito
