udon is quite thick, and made with wheat and water. traditionally, it is served in a soy sauce based broth and some toppings. now, you can also stir fry it, or have it with other types of broth. i would say it’s pretty easy with frozen udon and pre-packaged stuff, but if you’re doing it from scratch, the noodles might not look so pretty first try.

I don’t know whether it’s the whole brand. This is what I buy:

If you look at the ingredients, there’s some stuff that you’d have to write to the company to really know (glycine, disodium inosinate) because it can go either way. the “meat” pieces are actually soy protein, though. I don’t worry too much about “maybe” vegetarian trace ingredients, but obviously this is something you need to decide for yourself… If you want to make it from scratch, though, it’s not difficult if you find the black bean sauce at a store.

Udon is the beeeest and worth seeking out! The frozen or vacuum sealed ones are the best, the dried udon isn’t as thick and not as unique. But they’re very thick delicious noodles that are great in stir fries or soup! I prefer them to ramen personally.

I really like sweet in a spicy food but I remember one time I went to the Korean restaurant o and tried “뚝배기 불고기” I don’t know if they did it differently, it was like kinda the taste was exploding inside of my mouth

Pho is great, especially the ones with the meats, like brisket and chicken.

Gosh, I really love teokbokki and ramen so much. It’s the only food that I can tolerate even if it’s spicy.

I love teokbokki too. Did you know that there’s an “instant noodle” version too? Here in case it’s of interest. Stumbled upon it by chance as I wasn’t looking out for it. I really like how chewy it is - reminds me a bit of udon - but sauce is something else, really incredible imo.

Really? there’s a instant noodle of teokbokki? I didn’t know that. I will find it here in some korean store in our place. Thank you for this information.

I recommend trying sushi for a delightful Japanese experience, Pad Thai for a flavorful Thai dish, or dim sum for a tasty Chinese treat. Asian cuisine offers a diverse range of delicious options worth exploring!
