Tempura udon

Tempura udon is a Japanese dish which consists of thick udon noodles served in a flavorful dashi stock. The combination is typically topped with crisp tempura vegetables and shrimps. The broth is usually seasoned with soy sauce and mirin and can vary in saltiness and color. Next to whole battered shrimps, tempura udon is occasionally garnished with various toppings such as sliced scallions, fish cakes, or the spicy shichimi seasoning. This hearty hot udon dish can be found on the menus of traditional Japanese udon restaurants throughout the country.
