Sara Udon (皿うどん)
Sara Udon (皿うどん) is a specialty dish from Nagasaki, Japan, featuring either crispy fried noodles or thick steamed noodles topped with a rich sauce full of various ingredients. There are two main types: one with thin, crispy noodles and another with thick, chewy noodles.
The dish includes ingredients such as pork, shrimp, squid, cabbage, bean sprouts, and wood ear mushrooms, combining the flavors of vegetables and seafood. The sauce, made with chicken broth, soy sauce, and oyster sauce, is thick and flavorful, bringing out a rich, savory taste.
The thin noodle version has a crispy texture, and when topped with the hot sauce, the noodles retain a delightful crunch that contrasts perfectly with the thick sauce. The thick noodle version, on the other hand, uses steamed noodles, giving it a soft, chewy texture and a heartier feel.
Sara Udon is enjoyed in Nagasaki’s Chinatown, as well as in Chinese restaurants and households across Japan. With its diverse textures and flavors, this dish is widely loved.
