The custom of moon viewing held in mid-autumn is called tsukimi and widely celebrated in Japan. Tsukimi takes place on August 15 of the traditional Japanese lunar calendar. One dish that is enjoyed during the festival is Tsukimi Udon, a brothey noodle soup served with a raw egg. It is said that the egg represents the full harvest moon which is surrounded by clouds of noodles. I hope you enjoy these moon viewing noodles as much as I.

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.

Very easy and fast. Japanese soy sauce is extremely recommended.One cooking tip is that do not boil udon for too long as you will stir fry it later.So just make it 50% raw.

I made curry noodle soup in a clay pot.It's a sister to the stewed miso udon noodles.Please adjust the amount of dashi base according to the size of your clay pot. You can use pork or onions instead of chicken. The egg will be cooked with remaining heat so take the pot from the heat shortly after you cover the pot. You can cook the egg to the doneness of your liking but I like it soft-poached. Recipe by Bananazakuro
