★About seasonings

——Substitute for Mirin and Sake—-
If you can’t find mirin or sake in your city, you can substitute them like this👇

For 1 tbsp mirin use either:
1 tbsp sake + 1/2 tsp sugar
or
1 tbsp white wine + 1/2 tsp sugar

For 1 tbsp sake use:
1 tbsp mirin
or
1 tbsp white wine

It won’t be exactly the same, but still works 😋

——Substitute for bonito dash powder for vegetarians—-
You can try to find plant based dash powder, like kombu dash powder or shiitake dash powder.
However it might be a bit difficult to find them 😢😢

——Recommended products on Amazon US, CA, DE——
*I would recommend you to buy the products in Asian supermarkets. I guess they are cheaper😎✨

If you are vegetarian you can also change the bonito dashi powder for vegetable stock cubes/powder. It won't have the "fish" taste of the bonito or the "sea" taste from the kombu dashi, but it's also tasty! :)

I just bought a package of udon and was wondering what I should do with it. Thank you so much for these recipes! I actually enjoy using ketchup in stir-fry dishes, it gives a sweet and tangy tomato taste, quite addictive. As an Italian it will be fun to try this Neapolitan style udon.

[andersonomo]

I love how your recipes are really 'user friendly'. Thanks for these great ideas - so quick and they look so delicious - and healthy too!

[cookingwithmart]

i love your easy japanese cooking. keep going on. its so much inspiration for me and feasible on a normal workday

[lavenqueen]

I love udon! I recently got my mum to try it too and I wanted to expand my recipe list of udon dishes so I’m excited to try some of these!

[loritines]

I rarely write comments, but I'm soo happy that you gave the recipe for one person. Others make it for 4 or 2 portions and it's harder to change for one portion, so you really made my life easier with the ingredients.

[rudisbeak]

Thank you so much for your videos Yuka! I love how you are very conscious about what ingredients people living outside of Japan are able to buy. Your videos are always a great source of inspiration when I don't know what to cook.
I am currently cooking the yakiudon from this video! 💕✨

[mariasamper]

Amazing!! My husband looooves udon, we will definitely be trying this. Thank you! ❤️❤️

[AnaCarolinaAF]

I found your channel recently and became instantly amazed by how you present the recipes and the simplicity of it all, before watching your videos I would never even think that ramen could be something simple like the shoyu ramen and shio ramen you showed in another video, it quite honestly blew my mind and made me really happy to have these recipes added to my repertoar.

[mariacargille]

My younger brother loves udon! We'll definitely have to try some of these, they look delicious. :D

[qing]

The soup ideas are really wonderful. I'm always struggling to make a good soup base but could not come up with satisfactory ones. Will give them a try!

[joannabanana]

I love how simple all of these are! Thank you so much!

[bean-gfvj]

the creamy mushroom udon looks so good! i didnt expect miso to be in it but ill have to try it soon^^ your videos are great, keep up the good work!!

[ilovetheocean]

Thank you for these recipes! It has recently been very rainy and cold in the USA, so I was very happy to make some udon soup 😊

[kayelly]

We’re having your curry udon for lunch :D
Delicious! Thank you!

[kelleywyskiel]

I love that you added the ketchup option! I lived in Okinawa and one of my favorite humans cooked for everyone most days and often did ketchup on the noodles. I did think it was weird until I tried it and it’s delicious. And he was a wonderful kind person so I would try anything he took the time to make for us.
My husband lived in Japan and calls ketchup noodles Japanese spaghetti so I’m happy I have a proper name for the dish now!

oh yum, looks like I am cooking Udon tonight!

[nikkinik]

Hi Yuka 🙂 I wanted to let you know that I made the creamy mushroom udon, and I am really enjoying it. I bought some frozen udon from my Asian store and the chew it added to the creamy dish is really enjoyable. I also made your karage! Thank you for posting your recipes. I look forward to making more of them ❤

[branffrochan]

I was looking for some inspiration for my dinner tonight and your video was really helpful and beautiful! I love you so much and thank you for teaching me!🤍🦋🌱💫✨

[yaaaas]
