Kitsune Udon

[heart_this] · Jun 27, 2007 · 4 Comments

Kitsune Udon

Kitsune Udon (きつねうどん) or “Fox Udon”, is a Japanese noodle soup with aburaage. It consists of a dashi, soy, and mirin broth with udon noodles and seasoned aburaage. Udon noodles are thick wheat based Japanese noodles. Aburaage is a deep fried thin piece of tofu. It can usually be found frozen in Asian grocery stores. The aburaage should be rinsed with boiling water before use to remove excess oil. The aburaage is simmered in dashi, soy, and mirin to season it. Kitsune udon is also often topped with naruto (a type of kamaboko or fish cake). Togarashi (a chili powder commonly used as a condiment in Japan) can also be used to season.
This is a quick and tasty meal that can be made when you are in a pinch and are lacking in fresh food.

    Kevin, it does look delicious and now I have a new ingredient to hunt for the next time at at an Asian market. My daughter has taken me to one here in Halifax last year. Now I just have to find it again.

    Thanks for sharing with Presto Pasta Nights and bringing a different dimension to the term “pasta”

    Fantastic! It was a hit with our family. Instead of aburaage, I fried thin slices of firm tofu. I also made kim bap to go with it.
