Last week I posted about my discovery of Udon noodles. This week I experimented with Udon noodles and made drunken noodles. Did you know that they are called drunken noodles because of the amount of water you have to consume while eating them? I thought it had something to do with sake, oops!
The night that I got ready to make these noodles, I was looking over the recipe from Elly Says Opa and reading what the blogger had to say about them. I then realized that I didn't really have any of the ingredients but I decided to give it a go anyways. The results turned out fantastic!
Next time, I'm going to make it with all of the special soy sauces and chiles. There is an Asian market down the road from me. I've never been in there. It's huge, like the size of an old Target huge.
