I came up with this idea on a whim.It also tastes great topped with a soft-set egg.You can also boil the udon in the microwave. Remove from the bag, dip the noodles in water, place on a heat-resistant plate, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave at 500-600 W for 3-4 minutes.Every microwave is different, so keep your eye on it as it cooks.

Featured on September 29, 2010 ☆ The texture of udon noodles and crispy tempura bits go perfectly together and taste delicious! Great for lunch, too.Recipe background:I tried making this with tempura bits and it was a big hit!

Our yaki udon features a savory sauce and crunchy tempura bits mixed in. Instead of sprinkling bonito flakes on top, we mix them in for extra flavor!About this recipe:This is my mom’s classic recipe, with our family’s twist of adding tempura bits and bonito flakes to the yaki udon.

You can recreate this prawn tempura just like the product sold at a famous onigiri shop at home, which would be pretty economical.The pickled plum is usually pretty salty, but sprinkle salt if necessary.You can make prawn tempura yourself or just buy at the supermarket. Recipe by Shampoo hat

This creamy kimchi shrimp udon is rich, savoury dish featuring thick chewy udon noodles. This is the perfect bowl of comfort!

In a certain famous Okonomiyaki restaurant, they add dried bonito flakes to their griddle-fried udon noodles and I copied that idea for this.Just adding dried bonito flakes enriches the flavor!Use leftover vegetables in the fridge such as cabbage and carrots.Some vegetables give out water, so adjust the amount of seasoning if the taste is still thin and light after adding the Japanese worcestershire sauce and soy sauce.

I was starving one day and wanted to eat something more interesting than regular natto and rice. So I used the things in my fridge to make stir-fried udon noodles.If you like stronger flavors, add a little more mentsuyu.This is a really easy and simple dish!It's delicious enough, but you can add more seasonings and change the taste and toppings to your liking!

I wondered if a thick mentaiko sauce would taste good with chilled udon, so I made this recipe.It also tastes good if you use spicy mustard mentaiko. If it's too much work to grind, you can just combine everything as-is and it will still be plenty delicious. Recipe by Cooking S Papa

I've had this udon dish a lot at my friend's house. I used to like salad udon, but this style of refreshing cold udon dish is delicious too! This is my own adaptation.Make sure to firm up the noodles in cold water, and to chill the sauce well before serving.I sometimes add a soft poached egg, grated daikon radish, or okra as toppings.If it's not a bother, marinate the cut up aburaage (fried tofu) in a little bit of the sauce beforehand - it will be even more delicious. For 1 serving. Recipe by Wanko mama

The udon I ate at a restaurant was so delicious that I wanted to try recreating it.For the dashi, you can use iriko dashi or iriko and konbu. The pork is well-seasoned, so it's best if the dashi is a seasoned lightly. Also, pork that is high in fat is more flavorful, but use what you prefer. Recipe by Ojoman

When I was waiting for a pot of rice to cook, I was mixing natto and egg together... when it turned really foamy and voluminous! And it was fluffy-light too! I thought it would go very well with noodles.-All you need to season these noodles is the sauce that comes with the natto and an umeboshi pickled plum.-Of course, you could use soba noodles or somen noodles instead.-At Step 3, if you whip the egg white to incorporate lots of air, the sauce will become fine, light, and fluffy.-I love to top with a mountain of nori seaweed and green onions. You could also add myoga ginger or shiso leaves. For 1 serving. Recipe by J_Rosemary
