To prepare, bring water to a boil in a pot. Add the udon noodles and cook according to package directions until tender. While the noodles are cooking, you can prepare the broth by dissolving the included seasoning packet in hot water in a separate bowl. Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and place them in the bowl with the broth. Finally, add the tempura piece on top. Some people prefer to add fresh toppings like green onions or a soft-boiled egg.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike thinner ramen noodles, udon noodles are significantly thicker and have a chewier texture. The inclusion of a pre-made tempura piece is also a distinguishing feature, offering a crunchy element that is not typically found in standard instant noodle packs. The broth base is designed to complement the udon's mild flavor.
