Japanese food is typically known to be delicious and nutritious. Most Japanese foods are incredibly healthy because the broths were cooked with vegetables or even pieces of meat. Japanese cuisine also infuses wasabi which is a potent condiment that has anti-inflammatory properties. If you’re craving Asian food, but not looking for something that will leave your mouth on fire – then try udon noodles for a comforting experience that’s both soothing and warm for your stomach.
Udon Noodles
Udon noodles are usually hand-pulled (if you’re going to a reputable restaurant) and sometimes served with a meat broth made of mirin, soy sauce, and dashi. You’ll usually find it topped with green onions and the noodles are made of whole wheat flour. So if you’re looking to eat a healthy meal, this is the definition of it.
Pairs Well
The great thing about udon noodles is that they pair well with other foods like gyoza and sushi. Since this meal is pretty light and simple, you’ll still have room for all your favorite Japanese side dishes. Order a shot of soju or even rice wine to wash down this Asian comfort food.
