Japanese Character :うどん
Udon is a traditional Japanese noodle made mainly from wheat flour, water, and salt.
Unlike Italian pasta, udon noodles are usually thick, white, and wonderfully chewy.
They can be served in hot broth or enjoyed cold with a dipping sauce.
One of the most important ingredients is dashi, a Japanese soup stock often made from kombu (kelp) and bonito flakes.
Dashi gives udon its delicate, savory flavor.
If you’re used to strongly flavored noodle soups, Japanese udon might taste surprisingly mild at first. But that’s part of its charm!
