At our latest cooking demonstration at Wabi Sabi Japan Living, we featured a flavorful Yaki Udon recipe made with thick udon noodles, stir-fried cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, onions, and sliced Kurobuta sausage. Tossed in a savory soy and oyster sauce blend, the dish was quick to prepare and full of umami. Guests enjoyed learning how to balance textures and flavors using simple Japanese ingredients. It’s a perfect example of comforting, everyday Japanese cooking.

Enjoy two flavorful Japanese recipes that are easy to make yet full of complex, layered flavors. One features somen noodles topped with sesame butter shrimp, crunchy garlic, and scallions. The other pairs somen noodles with tender chicken marinated in shio koji and tossed in a savory chili oil blend.
