👝 How to Store Leftovers
This soup is best consumed freshly made, as when stored, the noodles can absorb a lot of the liquid. If you want to meal prep this, or store the leftovers, I suggest cooking and keeping the noodles separate from the broth and warming them up together on the stove when ready to eat. Udon is a thick noodle made from wheat flour, used in Japanese cuisine. There is a variety of ways it is prepared and served. Its simplest form is in a soup as kake udon with a mild broth called kakejiru made from dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. It is usually topped with thinly chopped scallions.
