Udon noodles are said to have been brought to Japan by Buddhist priests who traveled to China; today they're popular worldwide, and are great in soups like this one during the cold winter months.

1 cup fresh spinach leaves, stemmed
2 small round fish cakes, thinly sliced into strips

The soup looks really good! But what if you don't like spinach? What other greens would you suggest for this soup to take the place of the spinach?

@iceprincessice15 You could try experimenting. Rocket will add a peppery taste or cos lettuce will add a nice crunchy texture to the soup if you dont boil it too much. Let us know what you try...

Very informative ... thanks for posting it ... can u tell me where can I get sake for cooking soups and noodles, here in USA ? or if it is available online, which brand can i buy for cooking purposes only ? I am really confused about it as no one even seems to know what is Sake .. here ...

@ksinha9210 Good wine shops can be the best place to get hold of sake. It is worth having a look online though to get a good idea of the top brands as there is quite a gap between the good stuff and the cheap and cheerful Sake. Good luck in your hunt :-)

@veriawellness How can you make the broth if you cannot get hold of Bonito Flakes or Kombu? A cube fish stock instead? I know its not the same but I cannot get the more niche ingredients in time to make this.
