Hiyashi Udon

Udon is a type of thick noodle made from wheat flour, popular in Japanese food. It was invented in Japan in the 6th century. This original udon was 6-8mm in diameter, a flat “noodle”-shaped pancake added to miso soup.

They are usually served in a dashi-based broth, soy sauce and mirin. Then one or more ingredients are added on top. According to these ingredients, it is differentiated between the different types of udon. Most of the variants usually have chopped negi.

The flavor of the broth and the additional ingredients vary from region to region. The udon itself also varies in shape and thickness depending on the area.
