udon noodles

Japanese wheat pasta

Udon noodles are thick, chewy Japanese wheat noodles, typically white and served in hot broth or chilled with dipping sauce.

They're thicker than soba or ramen, with a soft, springy texture: I ordered the tempura udon.

Udon appears in soups, stir-fries, and cold noodle dishes.
