Udon is a traditional Japanese thick wheat noodle, often served as a soup. The most basic and simple type of udon is kake udon, which is a hot noodle soup in a dashi broth. Kake udon is often served in various ways, one of them is Kitsune udon, which is simply kake udon topped with aburaage, a sheet of dried sweet tofu flavored with soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. This simple combination makes for a delicious bow of udon! For a hearty meal, a topping or side of tempura would accompany the bowl of udon.
