Udon is traditionally served as a hot noodle soup topped with scallions, tempura or fried tofu. We also love adding udon to stir-fries, particularly this amazing recipe from Chicago chef Takashi Yagihashi, who combines udon with shrimp, chicken, cabbage and mushrooms for a simple yet flavorful dish.
This noodle soup is then topped with several meat, protein, or vegetable toppings, some of the most common of which being chopped spring onions, tempura prawns, deep fried tofu pockets (known as abura age in Japanese), and slices of kamaboko (a type of fish cake shaped like a semi-circle).
Udon (うどん or 饂飩) is a thick noodle made from wheat flour, used in Japanese cuisine. There is a variety of ways it is prepared and served. Its simplest form is in a soup as kake udon with a mild broth called kakejiru made from dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. It is usually topped with thinly chopped scallions.
In a mason jar or bowl, whisk together 3 Tbsp oyster sauce, 2 Tbsp ketchup, 1½ Tbsp soy sauce, and 1½ Tbsp sugar until well combined and the sugar is dissolved. Add 7 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce (I use Lea & Perrins brand) and whisk it all together. It's important to taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
