Simple Udon Soup

This is super fast and easy, and is a perfect snack or small meal. I love the broth; there's something really comforting to me about it. Udon is made from buck wheat, so the noodles are actually pretty healthy.

Ingredients (makes 2)
-12 oz udon
~2 T soy (1 T per bowl)
~2 T mirin (1 T per bowl)
~4 cups reserved cooking liquid (2 cups per bowl)
-4 green onions, diced
-2 T basil, chopped
-1 block tofu, cubed (optional)

Steps
1. Cook noodles as directed. If you are adding tofu, add the tofu to the water once it starts to boil so that the tofu heats up as well. Once noodles are done, remove them from pot but reserve most of the cooking liquid.
2. Split the noodles between two bowls.
3. Add a couple cups of the water you cooked the noodles in to each bowl.
4. Stir in soy, mirin, green onion, and basil.
