COOKING 
YakiudonHave you ever heard of Udon? Udon is a type of thick noodle made from wheat flour that is usually eaten in soup. As it is very quick and easy to cook, and depending on what you put in, can be very nutritious, it is one of the most popular foods in Japan. Yakiudon is a dish of stir-fried noodles rather than noodles in soup. Just after the Second World War, the owner of a restaurant called 'Darumado' in Kyushu was trying to cook yakisoba - Chinese fried egg noodles -, which was a very fashionable dish in western Japan. However, as it was difficult to get egg noodles at that time, he used dried udon noodles instead. To his great surprise it became a much-loved dish, and this was the beginning of Yakiudon. Since then, Yakiudon has spread all over Japan, but in most areas boiled noodles are used instead of the dried ones. Why don't you try making it yourself? Submitted by Kumiko Harries A member of TranNet and freelance translator based in Wales in U.K. INGREDIENTS (Serves 2) Udon noodles, pre-cooked and loosened, 2 packets Onion, 1/2, sliced Carrot, 1/2, peeled and sliced lengthwise Green pepper, 1, thinly sliced Cabbage, 1/4, chopped Bacon, 100 g, thinly sliced Salt and pepper, a pinch to taste Brown sauce (steak sauce), 2 tablespoons Worcester sauce, 1 tablespoon Oil, 2 tablespoons How to make Yakiudon 1) Prepare the vegetables and bacon as indicated above. 2) Add one tablespoon of oil to a frying pan and stir fry the vegetables.
