Ingredient list

Udon are traditional Japanese noodles made from wheat flour, water, and salt. They are thicker and chewier than most other Asian noodles, with a characteristically smooth surface and pleasantly springy texture. They are served both in hot soup with dashi broth and cold with a dipping sauce. In cooking, they are used in stir-fry dishes, soups, baked preparations, and salads. A popular variation is yaki udon, stir-fried udon noodles with vegetables and meat. They are available fresh, dried, and vacuum-packed. Udon noodles have a neutral flavor, which allows them to absorb the tastes of sauces and broths exceptionally well.
