Bukkake Udon with Fried Shrimp
….Bukkake udon is a very simple noodle dish that’s very common in Japanese cooking. The word ‘Bukkake’ simply means splashing after pouring liquid in the Japanese language. It is served by pouring some tsuyu and relatively strong dipping sauce directly onto udon noodles. Adding a delicious broth with splashing on some broth to traditional udon noodles leads to the ultimate creation of bukkake udon. I have special tsuyu in my refrigerator. When I learned how to make @comble2’s tsuyu, the chef recommended adding bukkake udon as well. So I used only tsuyu onto the udon noodles and some Mat-Gan-Jang for seasoning. It has a clean taste with fresh and chewy noodles. Also I added some leftover fried shrimp on top of the noodles for garnish and put an onsen tamago(poached egg) too. It’s enough for anyone to make their own bukkake udon by choosing the toppings they want.
