What is Moringa?
Moringa is also known as the drumstick tree. It grows on the Indian Subcontinent and across parts of Africa but can also be found in the Caribbean and South America. It has many health benefits including a high vitamin and mineral content, digestive and liver health and energy boosting. That is why many refer to the moringa tree as the "Miracle Tree". Moringa gives the broth in this easy tofu udon soup recipe a superfood boost.
What is Mala Girl "Miracle Moringa"
Mala Girl is an artisanal sipping broth and soup base company that I love. To read more about Mala Girl click here. I have received sponsorship for my endorsement. "Miracle Moringa" is an earthy green blend of cacao butter, lemon, moringa, himalayan salt, onion, ginger, garlic, celery, dulse, nutritional yeast, herbs and spices. Moringa itself has an earthy yet mild flavor like spinach so it needs to be blended with other flavorful ingredients. As always Mala Girl nails the flavors and has produced a blend that is a perfect shortcut for home cooks. "Miracle Moringa" gives this udon soup a distinct flavor.
What are udon noodles?
Udon noodles are thick and chewy Japanese noodles. They are made from flour, salt and water and usually served in soups and broths. My favorite Udon noodles come prepared and frozen at the market in the freezer section. If you have never tried these noodles you are in for a treat. The texture is so satisfying and they cook in a flash. That's why I include them in this easy udon soup recipe.

How to make Tofu Udon Soup
This easy tofu udon soup is a one-pot recipe. That's why I call it "easy". This comes together in 15 minutes and is a healthy and satisfying lunch for one.
- First, heat a deep nonstick pot or skillet over medium heat with the sesame oil. I recommend Caraway Home brand non-toxic cookware. When the oil is hot add the tofu and let it cook for 4 minutes without moving it. This way it will get some nice color. Then turn it over and cook for another 3 minutes to get it browned on the other side.
- Next, add the garlic, ginger, celery and carrots and cook for 3 minutes stirring often.
- Then add the coconut milk and water, Miracle Moringa powder, salt and turbinado sugar and stir to combine.
- Add the book choy and frozen udon noodle and cover the pot. Let the both come to a boil covered for 3-5 minutes. This will steam the box choy, defrost the udon and blend the flavors.
- Last, add green onions, cilantro and a squeeze of lime, then slurp away.
