Udon noodles are a type of thick, chewy wheat noodle that originated in Japan. Udon noodles are commonly used in various Japanese dishes and are known for their versatility. They can be served hot in soups, stir-fried, or cold in salads. Udon noodles have a neutral flavor, which makes them a great base for absorbing the flavors of sauces, broths, and other ingredients. They are often paired with a variety of proteins such as beef, chicken, pork, or seafood, as well as vegetables and aromatics like mushrooms, green onions, and ginger.
