I ordered what I thought would be fresh udon noodles through, I think, amazon.com. The noodles I received were neither fresh nor udon, but they were a good quality noodle. I can’t tell you exactly what they were because everything on the package was in Japanese, including the instructions.
I assumed, it seems correctly, that the number “5” on the package meant that I should boil the noodles for 5 minutes. Included with the noodles was a small packet of liquid seasoning. From the taste, I am assuming a type of tsuyu. The instructional drawings were, if not quantitative, somewhat informative; you needed a pot with water in it and a bowl into which you poured the liquid seasoning before you poured the cooking water and noodles on top. Simple. Good.
A Bowl of Noodles with Fried Egg
1 1/2 -2 cups of water
1 individual package of Japanese noodles with liquid flavor packet
1 tsp butter
1 egg
1 scallion sliced
Bring the water to a boil and add the noodles. Boil for 5 minutes. Place the contents of the flavor packet into a bowl and pour the noodles and water on top.
Fry the egg in the butter, then place on top of the noodles. Sprinkle on the scallion.
Cooking by intuition 😉

Oops – silly Amazon. At least you got something you were happy with. I’m having noodles this weekend. Going to make some frugal ramen! Looks gorgeous, Rosemary.
Thank you Frugal. Love Asian noodles!
Lovely pic. A really satisfying lunch. Nice one Rosemary.
Thank you Conor.
I love the idea of the fried egg. I bought some dried udon noodles the other week and it’s on the list to try. 🙂
Great Virginia. It’s sooo good 🙂
I bought some fresh noodles yesterday, luckily all is written inEnglish! I could eat these for breakfast (and confess that I have done many times)!
Lucky you to have found fresh noodles! They are a breakfast food 😀
Proof that the simplest of ingredients can make an amazingly satisfying dish…it’s a beautiful thing.
Thank you Lesley.
Never thought of frying an egg–we typically beat an egg into the broth and then pour the whole thing over the noodles. Nice alternative. Ken
Thank you Ken.
Wow!! This looks amazing – so simple and healthy – just as long as there’s no MSG, right?
I don’t know Mary Frances, it was written in Japanese.
Looks like delicious,, hem ^^
Noodles and eggs are made for each other. This looks so satisfying!
