Udon Japanese Noodles - Hakubaku

Certified-Organic. Udon is the type of noodles that can be round, square, or flat made from wheat flour, salt, and water. They are thicker yet slightly chewy, soft white noodles with a fit texture for dishes so hearty.

Usually served hot with various toppings, added to a hotpot dish, and cooked with other ingredients or even included in a curry soup. They can sometimes be served cold as well.

These noodles can also be an alternative to soba noodles in traditional soba recipes. Both of them could even also be combined to make a varied texture in recipes.
