If you have fresh mushrooms, you don’t need a lot of other ingredients. Mushrooms already have a wonderful flavor. You just need to add some additional spices and they will rock your world. So I thought of a warming soup with an Asian touch. With udon noodles and a very essential aromatic broth. I’s packed with umami and the whole taste of this addictive broth is built on the aroma of roasted spices.
Roasting spices is not something that you want to rush, so avoid using high heat and roast them slowly on medium heat. You want to heat your spices gently so that they release the oils and warm up deep into their center while not burning the outer edges.
So, shall we start? —Anna Chwistek | Serving Dumplings
