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.

An Osaka-native's Sauce Yakisoba (or Stir-fried Udon Noodles) An Osaka-native's Sauce Yakisoba (or Stir-fried Udon Noodles)
I was born and raised in Chuo Ward, Osaka, and love "okonomiyaki," "yakisoba" and "takoyaki".There are so many yummy restaurants here, but they're always so crowded... Even if these don't taste or look exactly the same as what you'd get in those places, I'm actually quite proud of what I've got here.Everything I've listed here are hints. Yakisoba and stir-fried udon noodles are such simple dishes, but those served at the okonomiyaki shop are really yummy.If you take some extra care during just a couple of steps, your noodles will taste so much better.I know yakisoba dishes vary in taste by region, but I hope you'll try this out at least once! For 1 serving. Recipe by *ai* cookpad.japan -

A Flavor of Kurashiki City: Cold or Hot Bukkake Udon A Flavor of Kurashiki City: Cold or Hot Bukkake Udon
This is an imitation of the famous bukkake udon from Furuichi (the name of a restaurant) in Kurashiki-city. I've been eating this Kurashiki speciality since I was a child. I was inspired by user "Pecchin-san's" tip to use tamari for her Ise Udon recipe, and was able to make a version of bukkake udon sauce I was happy with, so I uploaded it!Measure the ingredients for the sauce by adding them to a measuring cup. It's easier that way.From 110 ml of sauce you can get enough sauce for 4 servings, or 70 ml (4 tablespoons, 1 per serving).Use microwaveable frozen udon noodles to save time, and follow the package instructions to heat. For 4 servings of sauce. Recipe by rie-tin cookpad.japan
