The name of this dish sounds a little confusing, but this is not a Ramen dish. This is a Udon dish, but the Udon noodles are in Ramen soup. Udon can go well with any flavoured soups and sauces. If you have Instant Ramen Soup powder, why don’t you use it? This is a super …
Rubbery Udon Noodles can go well with many different flavours. Today I cooked Beef Stroganoff using leftover Beef and Sour Cream, and added Udon Noodles to it. It was a surprisingly good match.

Since I invented ‘Gochujang Mackerel Rice Bowl’, I have been making it frequently. I actually don’t need to cook anything if I had already cooked Rice. Because it is so easy and delicious, I made a Udon Noodle version today. I recommend to add an Egg to this dish. Egg can be boiled, poached OR …
On a summer day, I picked Tomato and Zucchini in my garden and stir-fried them with Udon Noodles for lunch. I could have added Meat OR Tuna, but I added Avocado. I almost always add Spring Onion to this type of dish, but I added Shiso, which came from my garden, too. It turned out …
