Easy and Delicious! Kama-tama Udon with Sanuki Udon Noodles

This is a simple and tasty way to enjoy udon. Ever since I tried it in authentic Kotohira, I always make this whenever I can get fresh Japanese eggs.
Recipe background:
I love udon and enjoy it in many different ways. When I brought back fresh eggs and made kama-tama udon in Hong Kong, everyone loved it—even my friends who had never heard of it before. I’ve been asked for this recipe so many times, so I decided to share it here, even though it’s really simple.
