- 8 baby bok choy halved, rinsed & strained
- ½ cup bean sprouts rinsed & strained
- 5.29 oz seafood mushrooms or enoki mushrooms
Soup Base
- 2 cups chicken broth low-sodium, or mushroom stock
- 2 cups water room temperature or cold
- ½ tablespoon regular soy sauce or light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon oyster sauce or vegetarian stir-fry sauce
- 1 teaspoon mirin
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 garlic clove minced

Instructions
- Trim and remove the ends of the mushrooms, then rinse and strain them. Divide the mushrooms into smaller bunches. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized pot filled with enough water, bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Blanch udon noodles just until loosened, about 30 seconds. Strain the noodles and shake out excess water. Divide the noodles between two large serving bowls.
- In the same empty pot, add the soup base ingredients as listed above and stir to mix. Cover and bring to a boil on medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, add the fish balls. Cover and boil for 6-7 minutes, until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon and divide between the serving bowls.
- Then blanch the bok choy and seafood mushrooms in the broth until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and divide between the bowls.
- Blanch the beansprouts in the broth for 30 seconds and remove with a slotted spoon and divide between the bowls.
- Pour and divide the broth between the bowls. Garnish with extra green onions and add extra oyster sauce to taste, if needed. Enjoy hot!
