Udon Noodles

By Natalie

I have recently discovered Udon noodles. Am I way behind on the times? You can't find them everywhere, like at say Wal-Mart. But, at Central Market there are several varieties to choose from. They almost seem a little bit like Ramen, which by the way I do not like. Ramen did not sustain me through college, unlike my brother.

Last week I made Five Spice Pork & Veggies with Udon Noodles. This recipe was very easy and really delicious.

This week I plan on making Drunken Noodles. I know I'm behind the times on this one. I've never had Drunken Noodles before. I'm excited to try them!

Do you cook with Udon noodles? What are your favorite recipes?

I've never cooked with them, but I've eaten them before and I'm a big fan.

I love them. So weird that you should link to the drunken noodles post - I just had drunken noodles for the first time this week and I'm hunting for a good recipe. You'll have to let us know if it turns out.

If you feel ambitious, you can try making them your own. I couldn't quite get them cut thin enough but stomping on the dough was kinda fun.

I love this chicken udon soup recipe and have made it a dozen or so times with great results: http://www.lifesambrosia.com/2010/04/chicken-udon-noodle-soup-recipe.html

My chicken noodle soup has always been terrible (not enough flavor, overcooked noodles, too many noodles, etc.), so this has completely replaced it. I bet the sriracha would be great for a cold!

I have been tempted to start making noodles at home but have been so intimidated. I am not good with baking and my attempts at other homemade dough type things like green onion pancake, roti, etc have been utter flops. I love you video and I think you have inspired me to try these udon noodles at home! Wish me luck!

About 5 years ago I was diagnosed with severe clinical depression. This is not the average depression, this is the sort of depression that causes suicidal thought. And trust me, I was once at the point of no return but somehow managed to get by. The depression went undetected for quite some time, probably 3 years or so. My psychiatrist prescribed several different types of anti-depressants and in varying doses.
