Udon Noodle Soup

As a lover of Japanese food, I am always eager to learn how to prepare traditional recipes at home. What I love about this Udon Noodle Soup is just how adaptable it is. The chicken broth can be replaced with vegetable or beef broth and cod can be replaced with prawns, chicken, meat or tofu! You can also add or replace any of the vegetable components to suit you or whatever is in the fridge.  This recipe, however, is by far my favourite combination. The melt-in-the-mouth cod and rich broth create a warming sensation on your taste buds. Whilst the spinach and broccolini add a welcome freshness to liven up the broth and balance the flavours. It is the perfect meal for any day.  Ingredients (serves 2)  For the broth: ·       1 packet of pre boiled udon noodles ·       400 ml chicken/vegetable broth ·       1 medium onion ·       100g spinach...
