Cooking for one: Tan Tan Udon

 I love to cook for myself, it's fun to playing with all the ingredients and don't have to worry about what other people think, haha.

 Cooking for one means you can do whatever you want and you still have great meal even you are alone, hehe. Anyway, it doesn't mean that you can't cook this menu for family member ^^ just adding up the amount that fits for your family.
This dish contains three parts, stir fried miso pork, soup and udon. Most of the taste comes from the miso pork so if you taste it before adding to the soup it has to be salty (or the flavor of the dish will be bland). Boiling the soup until just simmering then turn of the heat, too much boiling can make the milk separate from the water and the soup will be thick (anyway, if it happen, you still can eat it, ^^ but it's not look as good as it should, that's all). 
Actually you can choose other kinds of noodle to suite your taste, ramen is a great choice too.
