In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Stir in the miso paste until fully dissolved.
Add the soy sauce and sliced shiitake mushrooms to the pot. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Gently add the tofu, bok choy, carrots, and daikon radish to the pot. Simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Carefully add the enoki mushrooms and cooked udon noodles. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if needed (add more soy sauce or a pinch of salt if necessary).
Ladle the hot pot into serving bowls. Garnish with sliced scallions and a sprinkle of chili flakes, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this warm and nourishing meal.
