We’re glad you enjoyed this international twist on using Japanese noodles! We find the our 5 Grain Beauty Udon has the perfect texture to use as a substitute for noodles in pasta!
This is a recipe I didn’t expect at all in the flyer coming with our box of Japanese goodies but it was well worth trying out. My husband loved the heat of it, for myself I would probably tone it down a bit, but it was good nevertheless.
