Ingredients

• 4 packets undo noodles
• 3 cups water
• 3 cups dashi stock
• 1 pounds clams
• 1/2 pound mussels
• 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons mirin
• 2 tablespoons sake

• green onions for garnish

Instructions 

1. Cook the udon noodles according to the instructions on the package. Set aside.
2. In a large pot, add the water and dashi stock and bring to a boil.
3. While the stock water boils, add the clams and mussels. As the clams and mussles open, use a slotted spoon to remove them and set aside.
4. Add the shrimp to the boiling stock and cook just until done, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. This shouldn’t take longer than 2 minutes. Don’t overcook shrimp as it will become dry and rubbery.
5. Add the mirin and sake to the stock and simmer for 3 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
6. In a soup bowl, place the cooked udon noodles followed by the cooked seafood and a handful of chopped green onions. Pour the boiling broth on top and serve.
