Miso Udon With Cod

A lot of these ingredients were just things that I happen to have around, so it was perfect for cleaning out my fridge.  Theres a good amount of vegetables in here so it makes it pretty healthy and it hits the salty spot, if you're into that.  You can also use any other vegetables that you may have lying around -  string beens, parsnips, celery, sugar snap peas, cabbage, spinach... all good.
