๐ฒ What Is Yaki Udon?
Yaki Udon literally means โfried udonโ in Japanese. Unlike ramen or soba, udon noodles are thick, soft wheat noodles that absorb sauces beautifully while maintaining a springy bite.
Originally from southern Japan (Fukuoka), Yaki Udon is often seen as the heartier cousin to Yakisoba, but made with udon noodles instead of soba noodles.
Yaki Udon is the kind of dish that proves simple ingredients can still create big flavors. Whether you're craving Japanese takeout or want a quick and satisfying home-cooked meal, this recipe delivers every time.
