❓ FAQs About Udon Noodle Soup

Q1: What is Udon?
A1: Udon are thick, chewy Japanese noodles made from wheat flour — often served in hot broth or stir-fried dishes.

Q2: Can I use instant dashi?
A2: Yes! Instant dashi powder works perfectly for quick preparation — just dissolve it in hot water.

Q3: Can I make this vegan?
A3: Definitely. Use vegetable broth instead of dashi and tofu or mushrooms as your protein.

Q4: What’s the difference between Udon and Ramen?
A4: Udon noodles are thicker and softer, while ramen noodles are thinner and made with egg, giving a firmer texture.

Q5: How long does Udon Soup last in the fridge?
A5: Store broth and noodles separately. Broth lasts up to 3 days refrigerated; reheat before serving.

🍳 Tips for Perfect Udon Soup

  • Don’t overcook the noodles — keep them slightly chewy (“al dente”).
  • Always prepare broth separately to keep noodles from getting soggy.
  • Add miso paste for a deeper umami flavor.
  • For spice, top with shichimi togarashi (Japanese 7-spice).
