    1 Cook noodles according to packet instructions. Drain.

    2 Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add carrot, ginger and mushroom and cook, stirring, for 2–3 minutes or until fragrant. Add stock, mirin, soy sauce and 2 cups water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

    3 Add broccolini and prawns and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2–3 minutes or until prawns turn pink and broccolini is just tender. Add spinach and cook for 2 minutes or until just wilted.

    4 Divide noodles among four serving bowls. Ladle over hot soup and carefully top with tofu cubes. Serve udon noodle soup garnished with spring onions.

    HFG tip

    Using fresh prawns? It’s more cost-effective to buy them unpeeled & peel yourself. If using frozen prawns, defrost in the fridge overnight.
