This is my family’s very basic soup for Udon Noodles. In the region in Japan where I am from, ’Usukuchi’ Soy Sauce, that is a lighter coloured and saltier soy sauce, is commonly used to make Udon Soup. Good Dashi Stock is essential, but I often use Dashi Powder as it is the most convenient …

‘Buta’ means ‘Pig’ OR ‘Pork’ in Japanese. This is a Udon Noodle version of the popular ‘Buta Don’ (Pork Rice Bowl).
