Udon Soup

Udon soup is a popular Japanese noodle dish consisting of thick wheat flour noodles served in a mild, light-colored broth, often flavored with soy sauce, mirin, and dashi. The broth is typically simmered with ingredients such as kombu (kelp) and katsuobushi (bonito flakes) to create a rich umami flavor. Udon noodles are chewy and thick, making them a hearty and comforting dish. The soup is often garnished with toppings like green onions, tempura flakes, or kamaboko (fish cake). In Japan, udon is enjoyed year-round, and it is particularly popular in regions like Kagawa Prefecture, which is famous for its Sanuki udon. The dish is also widely available in Japanese restaurants around the world. In Hebrew, udon soup can be translated as מרק אודון. Other relevant translations include Udon-Suppe in German, soupe udon in French, and udonsoppa in Swedish.
