Japan’s Traditional Noodle

Udon is a traditional and tasty food. Udon is a type of special thick noodle made from wheat flour, and the Japanese love it most because it does not require oil to prepare. It is boiled in hot water and served with a variety of broths or soups. However, according to some recipes, udon noodles are fried with vegetables and meat in oil. This is a cheap and healthier food compared to other Japanese foods, and children like it the most.

Dry udon noodles are typically used in various dishes, for example, udon stir fry, udon soup, udon salad, udon carbonara, and udon peanut sauce. These are simple foods, and there are several ways to use dry noodles in cooking. The Japanese usually serve udon as a hot noodle soup, which is typical. Soy sauce and mirin are used in this soup, with green onions as a topping, and tempura shrimp are also used as toppings. The taste of udon soup and toppings varies depending on the region. Originating in western Japan, the noodles use light brown soy sauce. On the other hand, in eastern Japan, dark soy sauce is used in udon.
