Kake Udon is the primary form of hot udon noodle soup. It is made of udon noodles floating in a flavorful dashi based broth. This is cheaper compared to restaurant-made udon and you can prepare it anytime you want, especially in this cold weather.
Kake Udon is very basic, just garnish the noodles with chopped onion leeks and that’s about it. Quick and easy soup! Other optional toppings you can add that are available from your pantry to make it more fancy: onion leeks, spinach, fish cake, etc. There are many options for you that you can find in Japanese grocery stores. You can use Mentsuyu for broth. The ratio is 1 cup of mentsuyu with 5 cups of water. This ratio is good for 4 bowls of serving.
Udon Noodle Soup is very easy as 2 + 2. You only need 3-4 basic ingredients; Udon, Mentsuyu broth, an egg and optional toppings.
