Udon Noodles with Chicken, Shellfish, and Vegetables

This Japanese-inspired udon noodle soup is a vibrant, balanced dish that brings together the delicate flavours of the sea with succulent chicken and fresh vegetables. The base of the soup relies on a savoury dashi broth, seasoned with mirin and light soy sauce, providing a clean yet deeply satisfying finish. With thinly sliced carrots, mangetout, and Chinese cabbage, it offers a wonderful variety of textures and bright colours in every bowl.

As a high-protein meal, this recipe is an excellent choice for those seeking a nutritious and filling dinner that does not feel heavy. The combination of prawns, clams, and chicken thighs ensures a hearty serving of lean protein, while the udon noodles provide a comforting foundation. It is a quick and elegant dish that is sophisticated enough for guests but simple enough for a healthy weekday supper.
