U is for Udon (Noodles that is)
Noodles are ubiquitous in many cuisines and udon, a soft, thick and chewy wheat noodle, is one of the many Asian forms I hadn't tried until I found them fresh at my local, cut-rate, grocery store.
Vacuum sealed in individual portions, they're removed from the package and added to a pot of boiling water where they take only three minutes to cook to the al dente stage. Rinsed thoroughly in cold water and then well drained, they can be served either hot or cold.

Dan Dan Noodles ... the noodles are topped with the meat sauce, sambal oelek and green onions ... stir it up and dig in.
Tofu and red miso soup served over a half package of udon noodles with a poached egg for garnish.
