Tsukimi Udon
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.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make the Onsen Tamago. Cool completely and set aside. (See my recipe for Onsen Tamago) *Soft boiled eggs would work just as well.
- 2
Place a lemon zest in the bottom of each noodle bowl.
- 3
Mix the soy sauce, mirin, and light brown sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
- 4
In a small sauce pan add the water, dashi powder, and 2/3's of the soy sauce mixture, reserving the last 1/3 for later. Bring stock to a simmer and stir until the dashi has dissolved.
- 5
Reduce the heat to low and add 8 snow peas allowing them to become tender-crisp while you move on to the next step.
- 6
Melt the butter in a medium saute pan over medium high heat. Add the oyster mushrooms, shredding them with your fingers into smaller pieces. Saute the mushrooms a bit until they begin to brown. Add in the remaining 1/3 of soy sauce mixture. Continue cooking and stirring until the mushrooms are well browned and sticky. Set aside
- 7
Prepare the 2 bundles of udon per the directions on the package. Drain well and add to the noodle bowls. Ladle enough stock to each bowl making sure to not quit covering the noodles. Top with the oyster mushrooms, 1 Onsen Tamago, and 4 snow peas per bowl. Sprinkle with furikake and serve.

Large! Kansai-Style Kitsune Udon Large! Kansai-Style Kitsune Udon
This is a kitsune udon made with homemade kitsune! If you use homemade udon noodles, it's excellent, but it's delicious even with frozen udon.It's very important to thoroughly remove the oil from the kitsune, then squeeze out the moisture before simmering in the seasonings. If you don't squeeze out enough water, the seasonings will become diluted. The color will also be diluted! If you use tofu skins for inarizushi, it's even more delicious! See.

My mother taught me this recipe.1) Every type of kombu dashi is different, so adjust the amount of salt to your liking.2) When making the astuaage, cut it in half and simmer it in inari sushi sauce, then store it in the freezer; this makes it easier to use up the leftovers.Be sure to properly drain the water from the noodles.2) You can also put the noodles directly into the pot.

Mulukhiya Chilled Udon with Tempura Crumbs Mulukhiya Chilled Udon with Tempura Crumbs
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.

I could not make this dish successfully before, but after referring to a sukiyaki recipe using a sukiyaki broth base, the dish became more delicious.It may seem like there's not enough liquid in the pot, but once you cover the pot with a lid, the water content from the vegetables will steam up.
