One Pan Wonders

Sanukiya Udon Oriental Flavor - Shirakiku Brand



I found these at Uwajimaya for less than $2 per package.

They contain no msg and no cholesterol. They are a product of USA.  Each serving is 250 calories and 53 grams of carbs.

The noodles are nice and fat. Firm and chewy.  They soak up the broth very nicely.  There is nothing bad in the ingredients, bu they are (predictably) high in sodium. 1550mg, which mostly comes from the seasoning packet.

I added fresh broccoli, boiled quails egg and octopus. Okay, so maybe you wouldn't bring the octopus backpacking, but the other ingredients work. Any dried veggie would be good with this.  Hmmm... One of the bento bloggers I follow makes SMOKED octopus. I wonder how well that would pack for backpacking...




The broth is nice and salty with a slight fish/seaweed flavor. I mean that in a good way.

Because this is a fresh product, it may not be the best choice for ultra long hikes, but it is perfectly fine for shorter trips. It's nice to have fresh noodles for a hot lunch or dinner.

This takes as long as it takes water to boil to make this. Easy peasy. And Delicious! I will definitely buy this one again.
