Happy August!!

Happy August and MatsuJun month, minna-san!! I hope everyone is having a splendid summer, bet you’re at the beach or taking a dip into the pool to cool off. Always love it along with a sip of ice-cold lemonade.

Let’s start off with the countdown to Jun-kun’s 26th birthday, only 28 days left!

Yummy Beef with Udon Noodles

udon

I’ve been wanted to try cooking with udon for a while, especially after watching all of the Japanese umai dishes. I did some searching on Google and found two wonderful recipes from Wegmans and MyRecipes. Click on the links for the full recipes.

After some sauce testing, I decided to combined a few ingredients from both to make the ideal sauce. Here is what was used:

3 Tbsp dark soy sauce
2 Tbsp oyster sauce
3 Tbsp rice wine
1 Tbsp honey
3 Tbsp water

The above makes about a cup or so, just the right amount for a package of udon (approx. 12oz). I usually pick up one when I go to Philly’s Chinatown. However, they are also available in the Asian aisle of your local supermarket, usually a few pennies more. The sauce is extremely delicious and can be for other noodles as well such as pasta, egg noodles, etc. Give it a try sometime, I guarantee that it will be loved!
