Notes
1 .The udon noodles that I use are frozen (as I can’t get fresh), from my local Asian supermarket. When cooked these thick noodles are chewy and gummy in texture, just like freshly made udon noodles.
Make it gluten free: replace the udon noodles with gluten free noodles or serve over rice.
2. Light soy sauce is very salty, so use it to taste. Or use dark soy sauce instead it as is less salty, and its colour will make your dish look darker.
3.The chicken stock powder I use is an Asian brand, I prefer this, rather than the ones from my local supermarket. I find that the flavour from this stock powder goes better with Asian dishes. This is my go to stock powder if I have run out of fresh chicken stock – the flavour goes well with many multicultural dishes – not just Asian.
4. Place the bean sprouts in a small bowl and pour over some boiling water. Let it stand in the water for about 30 seconds, then drain. This will take away the raw taste from the bean sprouts.
