Method
 

How to Make Creamy Spinach-Scallion Coconut Udon
  1. In a pot over medium heat, warm the neutral oil. Sauté the white parts of the scallions until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the diced potato and 3 cups of water to the pot. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer until the potato is tender, roughly 10-15 minutes.
  3. Stir in the fresh spinach and coconut milk. Season your broth with a dash of salt and pepper as the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Cook the udon according to the package instructions. Once cooked, add the warm noodles to the pot and stir to combine, heating through for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Ladle the creamy udon soup into bowls. Top with green parts of the scallions, a drizzle of sesame oil, and black sesame seeds if desired.
