If you like Kimchi and ‘Takuan’ (Japanese Pickled Daikon), the combination of Kimchi and ‘Takuan’ must be irresistible. ‘Kimu-Taku Rice’ is very popular in Japan and I love it. Today I mixed the Kimchi and ‘Takuan’ with Udon Noodles. Udon Noodles can be replaced with other noodles of your choice such as Somen, Capellini, Soba, Rice Noodles, OR Egg Noodles.
