{ Noodle: Instant Udon Soup }

There was a time in my life, when I was in Thailand, that I was so in to Japanese cartoons (manga) and video games. Japanese culture has had quite an influent on me. I don't remember exactly which manga I was reading but one of them did inspire me to start making my first Udon noodle soup (I would say Ranma 1/2 since I remember first time seeing a spiral pattern fish cake from it.) Since I had no idea what exactly is supposed to be in the broth, I technically just made a chicken noodle soup with udon and fish cake, and as a child that was good enough for me.

Anyway, now that there are internet and more cook books available, making Udon noodle soup can never get any easier, better yet... an instant Udon noodle soup. One of the easiest way to satisfy your palette during winter time, and something different from your normal chicken noodle soup... >_>.
