Udon (饂飩, usually written as うどん) is a type of thick, wheat-flour noodle used frequently in Japanese cuisine. It is often served hot as a noodle soup in its simplest form, as kake udon, in a mildly flavoured broth called kakejiru, which is made of dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. Kitsune udon literally means "fox udon." What a silly name, right? The name came from a folktale about a fox that enjoyed aburaage (fried tofu), the main topping.

Instructions to make ‘Kitsune’ Udon:
  1. Wrap Abura-age with paper towel and heat in microwave for 30 seconds. Then press it to remove excess oil if required. - *Note: If you don’t have the microwave, soak in hot water is alternative option.
  2. Cut each Abura-age in half. Place in a saucepan, add Dashi Stock, Sugar, Soy Sauce and Mirin, and bring to the boil over medium heat. Simmer for a few minutes, then set aside to allow soak up the sauce.
  3. Make Soup. Place Dashi Stock, Sake (Rice Wine), Salt, Soy Sauce, Mirin into a saucepan and bring to the boil. *Note: ‘Usukuchi’ lighter colour Soy Sauce, that is saltier, is ideal. If you use the ordinary Soy Sauce, you might need extra Salt.
  4. Cook Udon Noodles as instructed. DO NOT add salt into the water. The best Udon Noodles are the Frozen Udon Noodles that you can find at Asian grocery stores. The Frozen Udon Noodles are already cooked, so just warm them in the boiling water.
  5. Place drained hot Udon Noodles in a serving bowl, pour the hot soup, place Abura-age on top, add some finely chopped Spring Onion. Sprinkle with Shichimi (Japanese Chilli Spice Mix) and enjoy.
  6. Note: You do not need to waste the soup. I usually drink it all.
