Udon noodle soup, simple chinese style
Go simple with this udon noodle soup. Okay, udon noodles are from Japan but that does not mean we can't make a chinese soup with it.
This chinese udon noodle soup can be whipped up in a flash if you already have some soup stock in your larder.
The ingredients given are for a very simple noodle soup. If you think it is too austere, feel free to add anything you fancy. An egg is always a good choice.
It's so nice to have a steamy bowl of hot noodle soup on a cold wintry evening, don't you agree?
The directions asked you to plunge the cooked noodles into some cold water for a few seconds. This is to stop the cooking process and keep the noodles springy. Overcooked udon noodles turns gooey and mushy which isn't very nice.
Unlike egg noodles, udon noodles won't stick together as they are slightly oilier than egg noodles. It is also not necessary to add sesame oil to the noodles to keep them from sticking together.
